[SOLVED] Getting the URL of the current page

[marklarah]

Hi

 

I need to get the the current page and store it as a variable. I realize I could do something like

<?php echo basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']); ?>

 

but if the current page was page.php?a=b or whatever, that would of course only tell me page.php, and I would like to be able to store page.php?a=b.

 

So currently, I am using this

 

<?php
$urlarr = explode('/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
$page = count($urlarr)-1;
echo $urlarr[$page];
?>

 

but it seems terribly inefficient for something that is probably rather simple. How would I do this in a quicker way?

 

Thanks

$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] <<< might help?

[marklarah]

$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] <<< might help?

 

hmm

 

okay, but that just gives me a=b

[redarrow]

 

<?php

echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

?>

[marklarah]

 

<?php

echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

?>

 

Thats just doing the same as

 

<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>

 

?

 

EDIT: Because my stuff is in a folder, I'm getting /thingy/test.php?a=b or whatever with that :/

[redarrow]

what this do then.

<?php 


echo substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],; 

?>

[marklarah]

what this do then.

<?php

 

 

echo substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],0,;

 

?>

Can't we just find the last "\" in the string in $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; and then get the content after that or something?

Hmm

 

that actually seems to work

 

thanks very much! someone should probably make a sticky with common FAQs with this in or something

 

anyway thanks man

Hang on isn't this 'cheating' as such? We're doing this assuming the folder will always be 7 characters, if there is even a folder. Is there a better way to do it so it will always work?

[redarrow]

the reason i never used preg_match because the folder is fixed ok.

 

good luck.

[redarrow]

 

advance way.

<?php 

$path=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; 

preg_match("/[a-z]{1,100}\.[code=php:0].*/",$path,$matched); 

print_R( $matched);

?>

[marklarah]

Well I managed to do it myself nevermind

 

<?php echo substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],strrpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "/")+1); ?>

 

is working for me.

[redarrow]

even better way.

 

GAMES ARE OVER BACK TO WORK LOL

<?php 

$path="/redarrow/the_real_way.php?1=yes_you_no"; 

preg_match("/[a-z]{0,100}\.?[code=php:0].*/",$path,$matched); 

$result=implode(" ",$matched);

echo $result;

?>

 

<?php 

$path=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; 

preg_match("/[a-z]{0,100}\.?[code=php:0].*/",$path,$matched); 

$result=implode(" ",$matched);

echo $result;

?>

[marklarah]

Exactly why is your way the better way?
