how to echo current page url

[shortysbest]

What I want to do is echo the current page url. but not the whole url just one part of it.  The URL im trying to execute is:

 
/sw.php?page=home

 

I only know how to echo out the whole /sw.php?page=home, and just sw.php. But

 

I want to echo out only "home" nothing else. I would like the code to be able to be placed on the template page and get the page url for the one you are on. And if there would be anyway to automatically capitalize the first letter in the word that would be great too.

Try:

 

echo $_GET['page'];

Ok, you're trying to get the contents of a variable (URL variables are listed after the question mark (?) and separated by (&). To echo these variables use

 

<?php

echo $_GET['page'];

?>

 

An example using multiple variables in the URL...

 

(URL is http://example.com/?my_name=bob&fav_color=blue&age=23)

 

<?php

echo 'My name is ' . $_GET['my_name'] . ' my favourite color is ' . $_GET['fav_color'] . ' and I am ' . $_GET['age'] . ' years old.';

?>

 

I hope that helps.
