Pass

Ok, my php page includes a file, which includes a second file. The second file provides the navigation bar of the first file.

 

Now, the navigation bar uses ' $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];' to determine what page it's on, to determine what page, and as such what links to use. Unfortunately, this uses the included file rather than the main file. How would I get the current url of the main page, rather than the included page?

Use __FILE__

Edit:

 

Whoops, that will give you the same thing. Use this.

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']

You are apparently including files using their URL instead of the file system path. You should be including local files using their file system path (for several good reasons), in which case $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] would be the correct value.

This is correct. The reason I am doing this, is because they are hosted on different webservers, for reasons I don't want to go into.

 

I have replaced $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] in the first included file with the true path, but I cannot do this for the banner because it changes for different pages.

So, how would I pass the var between the first included page and its banner?

This will give you the page that was called by the browser - i.e. not the current page if it was included -

 

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']
