doubledee Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 What does this mean in English? 'REQUEST_URI' The URI which was given in order to access this page; for instance, '/index.html'.

trq Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 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?

trq Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Why don't you echo out $page so you can actually see what it contains. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/251027-request_uir/#findComment-1287754 Share on other sites More sharing options...
