get url

[dreamwest]

How can i get the current url without being referred from another page.

 

I can get a referred url : $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']

 

But if i just typed in the url in the address bar : http://site.com/url.php, how can i echo this url out

[ignace]

$scheme = !empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && 'on' === $_SERVER['HTTPS'] ? 'https' : 'http';
echo $scheme, '://', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];

REMOTE_ADDR gets you a users ip address, not a url of any kind. Maybe you where thinking of HTTP_REFERER, but even then, it simply gets the refering address, not the current. Maybe you where thinking of REMOTE_HOST, again, this relates to the client.

 

Maybe your looking for combination of SERVER_NAME, REQUEST_URI and QUERY_STRING?

$scheme = !empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && 'on' === $_SERVER['HTTPS'] ? 'https' : 'http';
echo $scheme, '://', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];

 

Almost what im looking for.. Im trying to track ppl trying to hack my site

 

I have this in htaccess: ErrorDocument 404 /404.php , so whenever someone tries to guess urls:

 

http://site.com/admin/something.php it will automatically go to http://site.com/404.php. But  $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; isnt working for this.

 

[trq]

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] will get you the site the visitor came from if they clicked a link to your site. Provided of course there browser sends this information.

 

What information are you after exactly? keep in mind that anyone who knows anything about cracking websites won't send very much real information in there requests at all.

Im interested in seeing what theyre after, itll give me some insite on how to better secure the site

 

Over the last 5 mins ive had 5 different ips trying to access restricted files, i dont want to ban them yet i want to spy on them and see what they do

[trq]

Your server logs are probably the best things to look at.

Finally figured it out

 

# provide a universal error document
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /404.php?url=$1 [L]

 

The just use $_GET in 404.php

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] should give you that information without having to do rewrites, I think.

Your right. My way was getting a little buggy so i tried yours and it works.

 

Thanks!
