question about $REQUEST_URI

Anon

I want to track the current URL people are browsing. Here is my code
<?
echo $REQUEST_URI;
?>

what it outputs is Array, i know that i have to concatenate it. I don't know how. Please help me. Thankx.

Hey Shen,

This does not output an array, it outputs your REQUEST_URI which , for example, let's assume :

http://www.foo.com/a/dog/can.php?bark=loudly

The REQUEST_URI is now :

/a/dog/can.php?bark=loudly

Please explain what you are wanting to do. If you want this as an array, you could explode it like :

$pieces = explode('/',$REQUEST_URI);

Now that creates :

$pieces[0] = ''
$pieces[1] = 'a'
$pieces[2] = 'dog';
$pieces[3] = 'can.php?bark=loudly';

no, i understand that part. All i wanted to know is the current URL. Say, i am at www.yahoo.com, and i want my script to tell me i am currently at www.yahoo.com.

thx anyway though. :-)

Check out :

phpinfo()

It will provide you with useful predefined variables, sounds like you are wanting :

SERVER_NAME
