Display current URL

[MSteinblock]

How can I display the current FULL URL?

PHP_SELF only returns the file, eg index.php

HTTP_REFERER returns a URL like index.php?id=5

Any suggestions on how to return the current URL like the refering URL is displayed?

Thanks!

the path (from the root) is given by

$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]

so for this page, where i am replying, this would give

board/newreply.php?s=&action=newreply&threadid=10258346

including all url variables (ie action=blah)

Apparently REQUEST_URI doesnt work with IIS 🙁 That is ok, as I at least gave me a place to start. I ended up finding some more info, and had to write this little sniplet to get it to work properly:

if (($SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']) and ($SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {

$current_url = $SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] . "?" . $SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
} else {
$current_url = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
}

This was with Windows 2000/IIS.

Thanks for the help!
