Get actual URL?

[Anon]

How can I get the actual URL in PHP? I mean, I need a script that tells me the name of the PHP page it is in. That is, if it is executed in a page called "test3.php", then it would return "test3.php". Or at least return the entire URL and then I could get it from there...

use this variable:

$PHP_SELF

it is a global and gives you the path of the current running script

It doesn't seem to work. I've got my pages hosted on a free site that forbids the use of some php features (like sending mail), and I'm trying to print $PHP_SELF and other global variables but I get nothing. Is there any other way to do this?

try this:

$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] gives the root dir of your http server.

$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REQUEST_URI'] gives the name of your file.
