automatically created hyperlink based on the URL

[brauchi]

I am having a problem with my coding. There is one thing i would like to do but I am not sure if this is possible atall.

Here is what i would like to do.

• I have a website where all the articles are pulled out of a database. the url will look like this
  http://www.bonjourparis.com/articles/articleId/1000
• would like to add a wish list to the site where the visitors can click on an link on each page anywhere on my site so that this link can be placed into the personalized website

the question is:
is there a way that i can create a link on the templates that "frame" my sites and that this link would "look" up into the browser to "see" on which page we are right now and give this information to the link. once i have this i can work with this. but i am not sure how i could make this happen.

i saw this one time on a website but i can't tell if they had every link hardcoded or if they had a structure the way i have my structure.

please let me know if anybody has an idea or at least a starting point for me so that i can start working on this.

thank you in advance

Dunno if this will help, but this worked for me when I needed something like that. I made a link like this:

<a href='profile.php?user=$user'> $user </a>

then when they clicked the link it would take them to another page that I used this line to get thier info form the DB. You could alter it to create the basis of what you need.

<?
$user = $HTTP_GET_VARS['user'];
?>

Thats the line. It pulls the username from the URL and creates it into a variable as if it were submitted via form. Hope it helps.

This is just an FYI for you. I figured out how to do this:

$url = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST'].$REQUEST_URI;
