Getting Current Page Name and Parameters

[barkster]

How do I get the pagename and any parameters that are in the url? I can get the pagename with basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); but it doesn't catch any parameters like pagename.php?lookhere=True

Thanks

$_GET["lookhere"] would automatically contain the value of True. Use $_GET to get any variables from the URL.

I understand how to get parameters I want the get the url including the parameters. Not just the parameter. I want to get the filename and any parameters that are appended.

[b]$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"][/b] should contain what you're looking for.
[b]$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"][/b] contains the just the query string, i.e. the part after the "?", but not including the "?".
