Get page URL minus php variables

[melting_dog]

Hey guys,

 

Was wondering if someone could point me on the right path here. I am able to get the page URL using:

 

$url = (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS'])) ? "https://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] : "http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

 

But was wondering if there was a way to drop the PHP variables attached to the URL.

 

e.g.

 

mysite.com/catalogue/?item=23

 

becomes

 

mysite.com/catalogue/

 

Can anyone help me out?

 

Thanks!

Use strtok on the REQUEST_URI:

strtok($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], "?")

Thanks requinix,

 

I also got it working using $url = dirname($url);

 

but would I be right in saying your way is the more 'pure' way?

[requinix]

dirname() will only work in some of the situations. For example, it won't work with URLs like "/path/to/file.php?query_string".

strtok(), or some similar method, will work on every URL.

Yeah I switched it over. I t does work better.

Thanks!
