Request_UIR ???

[doubledee]

What does this mean in English?

 

'REQUEST_URI'

    The URI which was given in order to access this page; for instance, '/index.html'.

I'm not sure it could be dumbed down much further. REQUEST_URI returns the uri that was used to access the page.

If I am on index.php and I click on the "Articles" tab (in the header) which has a hyperlink to "articles.php" then what would SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] hold?

 

index.php?

 

articles.php?

Whatever page you're currently on. At first it'd be index.php and then it'd be articles.php

I'm trying to get my hands around this code...

		<?php
			$page = basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
			if ($page == '/') {
					$page = "index.php";
			}
		?>
		<div id="pageHeader">
			<!-- Logo -->
			<a href="index.php">
				<img id="logo" src="images/debbie_160x45.png" width="160" alt="Debbie" />
			</a>

			<!-- Top Menu -->
			<ul id="topMenu">
				<li <?php if($page=="index.php") echo 'class="current"'; ?>>
					<a href="index.php">Home</a>
				</li>

				<li <?php if($page=="article_index.php") echo 'class="current"'; ?>>
					<a href="pages/article_index.php">Articles</a>
				</li>

				<li <?php if($page=="howto_index.php") echo 'class="current"'; ?>>
					<a href="pages/howto_index.php">How-To Guides</a>
				</li>

				<li <?php if($page=="news_index.php") echo 'class="current"'; ?>>
					<a href="pages/news_index.php">In the News</a>
				</li>

				<li <?php if($page=="interview_index.php") echo 'class="current"'; ?>>
					<a href="pages/interview_index.php">Interviews</a>
				</li>
			</ul><!-- End of #TOPMENU -->
		</div><!-- End of #HEADER -->

Why don't you echo out $page so you can actually see what it contains.
