Thanks for helping, the one in the title please. because then it will help me to understand what they are doing in the lower code

[RaythMistwalker]

$this_page ="http://{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}{$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']}";

 

basically does what it says.

start bit by bit.

 

{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']} returns domain name (ie phpfreaks.com)

{$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']} returns actual page (index.php)

[deansaddigh]

So then in that $this_page variable it would basically hold

 

http://www.phpfreaks.com/index.php?

 

would it put the / in between .com and index or would the variable hold

http://www.phpfreaks.comindex.php

[RaythMistwalker]

it will hold.

 

I only know cos i have

$baseUrl = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];

 

for storing session info.

 

I might've got your original request wrong tho i know

$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] returns current script so i dunno about

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']
