how do i check for what the current page is?

Here is the check I need to run. I think all I need is some sort of check to replace "currentPage" with.

<?php
if ( currentPage == "calendar.php" ) {
	print "<td class=\"TABcurrent\" scope=\"col\"><a href=\"calendar.php\">Calendar</a></td>
	<td width=\"5\" class=\"TABseparator\" scope=\"col\">&nbsp;</td>";
} else {
	print "<td class=\"TABother\" scope=\"col\"><a href=\"calendar.php\">Calendar</a></td>
	<td width=\"5\" class=\"TABseparator\" scope=\"col\">&nbsp;</td>"; 
}

if ( $accessnote == "Y" ) {
	if ( currentPage == "notes.php" ) {
		print "<td class=\"TABcurrent\" scope=\"col\"><a href=\"notes.php\">Notes</a></td>
		<td width=\"5\" class=\"TABseparator\" scope=\"col\">&nbsp;</td>";
	} else {
		print "<td class=\"TABother\" scope=\"col\"><a href=\"notes.php\">Notes</a></td>
		<td width=\"5\" class=\"TABseparator\" scope=\"col\">&nbsp;</td>";
	}
}

if ( $accessrec == "Y" ) {
	if ( currentPage == "reclamation.php" ) {
		print "<td class=\"TABcurrent\" scope=\"col\"><a href=\"reclamation.php\">Reclamation</a></td>
		<td width=\"5\" class=\"TABseparator\" scope=\"col\">&nbsp;</td>";
	} else {
		print "<td class=\"TABother\" scope=\"col\"><a href=\"reclamation.php\">Reclamation</a></td>
		<td width=\"5\" class=\"TABseparator\" scope=\"col\">&nbsp;</td>";
	}
}
?>

This script is in a separate file and is being included by each of the files calendar.php, notes.php, reclamation.php. So I guess I need this check to know which file is currently calling the script.

cheers!

could try using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']

thats really good. thanks. the only down side is that it returns the short pathname as well. should I just explode the string and use the last piece?

[edit]
Oh, the cleverness of me... 😉

	if ( $_SERVER ['PHP_SELF'] == "/counterpoint/clients/calendar.php" ) {
		print "<td class=\"TABcurrent\" scope=\"col\"><a href=\"calendar.php\">Calendar</a></td>
		<td width=\"5\" class=\"TABseparator\" scope=\"col\">&nbsp;</td>";
	} else {
		print "<td class=\"TABother\" scope=\"col\"><a href=\"calendar.php\">Calendar</a></td>
		<td width=\"5\" class=\"TABseparator\" scope=\"col\">&nbsp;</td>"; 
	}

thanks laser!

basename(getenv('SCRIPT_NAME')) is good for you ?
