Retrieve a whole URL via GET (or is there a better way?)

[The Little Guy]

[code]<?php
function get_id($url){
$end = $url;
$begin = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
$var1 = str_replace($begin,'',$end);
$var2 = str_replace('?id=','',$var1);
return $var2;
}
echo 'http://'.get_id($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
?>[/code]

Why dont you use taiths function and add a substr to it to wack off the leading charaters you dont want?

Thank you so much! I slightly adapted what you posted just then, for anyone who comes across this thread in the future this is the code I ended up using to get the behaviour I wanted:

[code]
<?php
function get_id($url){
       $end = $url;
       $begin = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
       $var1 = str_replace($begin,'',$end);
       $var2 = str_replace('/transfer=','',$var1);
       return $var2;
}
$myvar = get_id($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
?>  
[/code]
