[SOLVED] How to make a variable equal the address bar.

[czukoman20]

I'm currently using a scrip that needs the Exactly URL of the document to work. How would i make  a variable that reads what is in the address bar. I got a clue kind of withe the $_SERVER... but i'm lost after that

Help is greatly appreciated thanks

print_r($_SERVER) and see what variables you need to use.

try this:

$path = "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

then use $path in your script

Thanks for the help... how do i make this solved lol

There will be a button on the bottom left (under all the posts) that says "Topic Solved"

 

I thought they moved it to the top right, but I guess not.

try this:

$path = "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

then use $path in your script

 

This will not work.. Because php_self stops after .php leaving the ? and rest out.

 

$path = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

[winmastergames]

i guess it depends what he wants.

Yep, that is what i wanted, but i caught that and added the REQUEST_URL into it, and it worked fine.. all i needed to know is how to use those different areas and send it to a variable.. Thanks a ton guys
