[SOLVED] HELP: PHP DIRECTORY HANDLING

[tonbernradino]

Hi,

 

I would like to ask how to do this:

 

currently im working in my localhost

 

if I access my localhost the directory in it are:

clientname1

clientname2

 

now, my problem is

 

im in localhost/clientname2

how to get the clientname2 only?

 

 

    $protocol = $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'on' ? 'https' : 'http';

    $URL= $protocol.'://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."/";

 

this will display http://localhost/

but I want to include clientname2

 

  $URL= $protocol.'://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

 

it will display

 

  http://localhost/clientname2/pages/product.php?page=about

 

how to display this only http://localhost/clientname2/

Use:

$protocol = @$_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'on' ? 'https' : 'http';
$URL      = $protocol.'://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].dirname($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

when im in localhost/clientname2/pages/product.php

 

it will display localhost/clientname2/pages/

break the directory apart with something like explode, and look for the numbered occurance your interrested in.  If its the directory thats one away from root then:

 

<?php
$directory = dirname($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
$dir_array = explode("/",$directory);
$lookingfor = $dir_array[1];
?>

function getBaseDirURL()
{
    $url  = (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'on')) ? 'https://' : 'http://';
    $url .= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

    $uri_path = pathinfo($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PATHINFO_DIRNAME);

    // get the base directory
    $pos = strpos($uri_path, '/', 1);

    $url .= ($pos !== false) ? substr($uri_path, 0, ($pos+1)) : $uri_path;

    return $url;
}

echo  getBaseDirURL();

yeah it works but my problem is

 

when im in this location

 

http://localhost/clientname2/

 

it displays nothing.

 

but when im in this location http://localhost/clientname2/pages/

even im in this location http://localhost/clientname2/ or in this location http://localhost/clientname2/pages/

 

it should display clientname2
