Any ideas?

I want to be able to identify every page by a unique ID

 

I dont want to manually assign every page i have with a personal ID. Is there a way of giving each page a unique ID based on file location or something??

 

I thought the URL using HTTP_REFERRER, but when u have a GET variable, it seems to be empty...

 

Thanks in advance.

Whoops, im using referrer, but ofcourse thats the page your come from.

 

How do u get ur current url?

[optikalefx]

try doing print_r($_SERVER);

 

and take a look at all that info

You can use md5 to generate a unique hash using the file itself or file location. Then just store that hash as to accessing the file.

why not just use the page name?

 

$path = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'];

$unique = basename($path);

If he is using Post data to change the page display then the URL might be the same so md5 won't help.

 

There really is only way true way to do this IF and thats a big IF the pages have different URL's.  and that is define a constant for each page, like vbulletin.  But if the pages truley all have different URL's then hashing the URL is the perfect way to go, of course, capital letters might change that identifier so make sure you toLowerCase() before you md5()

Thanks, I will do that. As long as I understand what you mean by pages having different urls.

 

They are all their own filenames in say a single folder. Good enough??

Thanks.
