PHP Settings issue ?

[baffled_in_UK]

Hi,

I am trying to get the url of the page currently in the browser, I saw this code in another post and tried it...

$url = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];
$array = explode("#",$url);
$txt=($array[1])

but I get an empty string. Is there any PHP settings that may affect my retrieval of this value ?

I am running PHP 4.2.3
Register Globals is ON

any others I need to check ?

Many thanks.

From your use of # I'm guessing that you are trying to grab an anchor? If so you can't do that with php, since php is server side and anchors are client side.

Jerdo... pardon me for being "thick" but I'm unsure what you mean by "anchor". What I was hoping this snippet would give me was the url of the page currently displayed in the browser. Is this not correct ?

Got it.....

basename($_SERVER[PHP_SELF]);

gives me exactly what I need (ie. index.php).
