Getting a page name?

Stinger51

Is there any way to get the name of the current page that the browser is displaying? I see something called PATH_INFO in the PHP environment variables that may contain this information. But what is the correct way to access it?

$path = $_ENVIRONMENT['PATH_INFO']; // doesn't work

Thanks in advance.

It would be $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']. But I don't think PATH_INFO is what you want.

Read this:

Depends what bit you want, but look at this and modify to your needs:

$pagenamesplit = split('\.', $_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]);
$pagenamesplit = split('/', $pagenamesplit[0]);
$pagemakercount = count($pagenamesplit);
$pagename=$pagenamesplit[($pagemakercount-1)];

Which if the filename were \public_html\subdir\help.html would give pagename the value 'help' if you need it as 'help.html' the code would be:

$pagenamesplit = split('\.', $_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]);
$pagename=".".$pagenamesplit[1];
$pagenamesplit = split('/', $pagenamesplit[0]);
$pagemakercount = count($pagenamesplit);
$pagename=$pagenamesplit[($pagemakercount-1)].$pagename;

I read the link but didn't see anything in there that would give me the name of the current page.

However, $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] does do the job. 🙂

Thanks for your input.
