'PHP_SELF'
The filename of the currently executing script, relative to the document root. For instance, $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] in a script at the address http://example.com/test.php/foo.bar would be /test.php/foo.bar.

Thats directly from php.net: here

now to fetch things from the the "query string" which is what you are trying todo with the url:

$GET['name'] (for that example url would give you "ab")
$GET['mylang'] (for that example url would give you "en")

google and php.net is where you start my man... the examples out there are infinite

no ... i think you missunderstand me ...
some times i dont know how many variables in the URL, because my program creates the variables in the URL dynamically, so some times, there is 6 or 3 variables ...
so i cant guess all of them and do GET them to my page ...
what i wanted to do is to get the address all of it, as it is with all what it contains of variables and make it a string and replace some thing in it ...
and redirect the browser with new variables values ...
as example ...

str_replace($nowurl,"lang=en","lang=gr");

some thing like htis, so i know how to get a variable from URL, but i dont know how to get the whole peice of address ...

can you help on this .. ?

well as i stated in my other post for you, $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] contains all your query string info... you could do some preg_replace as needed if u need to manipulate

but per our other post about arraying the variables, you can just search the array and make the changes that was as well

oh wait...

is this what you want

if the url is:

http://www.domain.com/index.php?lang=ab&name=george&this=that

you want to get that entire url?you could do

echo $SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']. "?". $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
