[RESOLVED] Get URL of Current Page?

D_tunisia

Is there a way using PHP to get the full URL of the current page and store it in a variable?

$_SERVER['script_name']

It already is $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

You'll find other information in the $_SERVER array

print_r( $_SERVER);

$var = 'http://', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

That will give you the full URL to your file.

You'll also need $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] if you want the query string (if any exists)S

Thanks guys that helped a lot, but I've got this string now:

$_SESSION['current_url'] = 'http://', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

and I keep getting this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',' in /home/jclickth/public_html/includes/security.php on line 7

Any ideas?

Use

 $_SESSION['current_url'] = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

I thougth commas and periods were interchangable? What went wrong with that?

Time for a change, decided I wanted something a little more "techy" so I did this one last night. Mainly I was bored waiting for posts to be put up on this board (and the one I admin), so I decided to make a nice avvy for me. I still have, and could still use it if need be, but this suits me better right now.

They arent, periods have to be used for string concatenation. I suspect you concluded that commas could be used as well based on echo, but echo is special since it takes multiple arguments yet is a language construct, not a function 😛
