How to return the referring page name only?

[spryce]

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];  <-- this returns the full path.

 

Can I return the referring page name only?

 

ie) somepage.php

 

Cheers

Totally untested, but you could probably do something along this lines of:

 

$page = substr(strrchr($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], '/'), 1);

Use a combination of parse_url and basename

<?php
$x = parse_url($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
echo basename($x['path']);
?>

This is what I have done in past

 

$ref = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$ref = explode("/", $ref);
echo "$ref[2]";

 

if referer was http://www.website.com/folder then that code will output www.website.com

 

on another note it also gives you folder names
