Catch PHP URL

[johnnyjohnny]

is it possible to catch full php url, like this one? especially the part after #.

 

http://foo.com/#additionalinfo

 

thanks

echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

[johnnyjohnny]

That's will only print "/" for me.

very weird...

but you can use JavaScript insted PHP...

use this code to print the url:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> 
document.write (document.location.href); 
</script>

Any particular reason why it is #additionalinfo and not ?additionalinfo

Not quite, the site I am working on is complete Ajax based, and the problem I ran into is the back/forth button and bookmark will not function, so to correct that the server side is going to catch the "#" part and decide what to display, so sadly it has to be processed on the server side.

I'd recommend either using a $_GET var then, or using htaccess and modrewrite to just take whatever is after the slash

 

e.g. http://foo.com/additionalinfo

 

a combo of modrewrite and $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] should accomplish the same goal and actually look cleaner.

That's interesting, do you mind elaborate more on that more?

AFAIK the fragment part of an URL can't be accessed by the server. It's for the client side (e.g. used in AJAX as you mention). But since you're using AJAX, it should be no problem to post the fragment to server side, right?

Something like this should do the trick.

 

Create a .htaccess file in the root directory of your website.  Within it's contents put the following:

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ index.php?pg=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$ index.php?pg=$1

 

This code above does the following:

 

User accesses the page: http://foo.com/additionalinfo

The rewrite converts this page to: http://foo.com/?pg=additionalinfo

However the user doesn't see the conversion, it remains http://foo.com/additionalinfo to the user.

But PHP can now parse the variable by $_GET['pg'] (even though it doesn't appear to exist).
