REQUEST_URI not working

infuego

I can't echo $REQUEST_URI from my scripts. web provider is running redhat with apache. would like to make my site search engine friendly but can't get any server globals to work.

<?
echo $REQUEST_URI;
?>

doesn't return anything on this php4 box from my provider.

ideas?

thanks,
infuego

Try some similar alternatives and see if they work:

SCRIPT_URI
SCRIPT_URL

Try this:
$currentUrl = $PHP_SELF."?".$QUERY_STRING;

neither of those work either. other ideas?

if I type ocean/test.php?cat=test in the URL window this returns ocean/test.php? and $QUERY_STRING alone returns ocean/test.php.

neither of these will work since I need to explode the URL string into and array then assign the page depending on content through my templates. with this method the browser simply tries to server the page even if it doesn't exist. I need to place ocean/test in the URL string then

if($cat == 'test') {
serve test.php here
} else {
serve another page
}

Any other ideas. Since $REQUEST_URI is an apache variable can it be turned off or disabled?

thanks for the help.

I have duplicated the same problem exactly. Perhaps it is a bug in safe mode?

echo $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REQUEST_URI'];

is returning

/thispage.htm

even if I access the page with /thispage.htm?boo=ghost

how do I get access to the raw variables? This obviously isn't working. Using Windows platform, php4

:duh: Ok I answered my own question:

Use this function to dump the variables passed to your script:

function display($ar){

while(list($key,$val)=each($ar)){
echo "<ul>";
echo "$key = $val \n\n";
if (is_array($val)){

      display($val);
     }
  echo "</ul>";
      }

}

display($HTTP_GET_VARS);
