Die $request_uri Die!!!

doltmann

:mad: Does Anybody have a clue as to why when I use $REQUEST_URI or any other method or requesting the previous uri dosent work??!!
Is this a server configuration problem... or am i just compleatly retarded?

This is what I want to work:

$siteaddress ="http://www.ceilearning.com";
$referer = getenv("HTTP_REFERER");
$badpage=($siteaddress.$REQUEST_URI);

But you know what, it hates me! So if anyone has ANY idea on how to make this work. PLEASE, let me know!

it could be something with the server, but more likely it is a register_globals problem, where you should use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] instead.

Read the FAQ in this forum.

I tried that, and guess what... I HATE THIS CRAP... j .k. this "Crap" is my life. But anyway, I tried using $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] and it still returns the current page, instead of the page that actually requested that page. Im using this for a 404 error report page, incase anyone was wondering (or cared) so again, if any suggestions, please help.

um maybe you're looking for header("Location: ".$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']); ?

doltmann

No, im not looking to redirect it back to that page, im trying to get the Page/File addy that is missing So that it will send me an e-mail telling me which file was trying to be accessed that supposedly dosent exist.

Moonglobe

hmmmm this?

mail('me','something scrwed up',$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?".$_SERVER['QUERY_SRTING']." doesn't exist. the visitor came from ".$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'].".","From: \"Bad Request\" <badrequest@yoursitehere.com>\r\n");

No, that dosent reply anything, EVREYTHING says to use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']. But the only thing is, its returning the currnt page. Instead of the page that was SUPPOSED to be displayed and wasnt... Could it be possible that it is displaying the 404 page as the page being called because the .htaccess file is calling the 404 page? if that makes since...

Moonglobe

i dont think there is a way to do this. soory, i dont know for sure, bt i dont think there is one

stolzyboy

ok, if you are at pageone.php and you click from there to get to pagetwo.php, you want something to display pageone.php

on your pagetwo.php do:

echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

doltmann

Yeah, I know how to get it to tell you what page you came from, and I need that, but I also need it to tell me what page it was looking for... Which there are numerous ways to do it... but they all return the "404.php" string instead of the addy it couldnt find.

Moonglobe

hmmmmmmmm well maybe you shouldn't use PHP if you're just using CGI variables.... i believe  works in .shtml..... but no you want it to mail to you. hmmmm...............🙁

doltmann

If i wanted to send mail with CGI/PERL couldnt I just use:

$mailprog= '/usr/lib/sendmail';
$email = 'derricko@ceilearning.com';

open( MAIL, "|$mailprog $email" )
|| die "can't open sendmail: $email: $!\n";

     print MAIL "...";

close( MAIL );
[/COLOR]

😕

Moonglobe

no, by CGI i mean Common Gateway INterface, the stanard that defines manny variables. you can use these in .sht|.shtml if you're running apache.

and it will come out right.

doltmann

Right, can you pull it out the same way (or close to it) in PERL? because then you could mail it.

doltmann

Sure you can, it would pretty much look like this:

$mailprog= '/usr/lib/sendmail';
$email = 'derricko@ceilearning.com';

$mainurl = 'http://';
$mainurl .= $ENV{"HTTP_HOST"};

open( MAIL, "|$mailprog $email" )
|| die "can't open sendmail: $email: $!\n";

print MAIL "Attempted URL: $mainurl$ENV{'REDIRECT_URL'}";

close( MAIL );

Right? Or is that wrong? I barely know ANY perl.
