get the current page name.

[ted_chou12]

For example, if this page's url address is "http://test.com/index.php", I wish to get the term "index" out of it.
BTW I hope it can work for examples such as "index.php?id=page" or some php virtual pages.
Thanks Ted.

Take a look at the functions [url=http://www.php.net/parse_url]parse_url()[/url] and [url=http://www.php.net/path_info]path_info()[/url].

I did this, inorder to get the query:
echo parse_url($url, PHP_URL_QUERY);
but nothing returns.
BTW, I am sure that my current page is with a query.

How do you set the variable $url?

[ted_chou12]

this is how it looks like, correct me if I am wrong:
$url = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

[ted_chou12]

okay, I finally got to here:
[code]
page=about
[/code]
but I want what is after the equal sign which is "about", how will I do that?
BTW I tried explode() and it doesnt work, nothing appears
which looks like this:
foreach($query as $v) {list($arg,$que) = explode("=",$v);}
can anyone give me any suggestions? thankyou
Ted.

[code]$_GET['page'][/code]

this is probably a round-a-bout way of getting it and will need some validating:

[code]
<?php

$url = "http://test.com/index.php";

$url_x = explode('.',$url);

$num = count($url_x);

$x = $num - 2;

$url_y = explode('/',$url_x[$x]);

$num = count($url_y);

$y = $num - 1;

$file = $url_y[$y];

?>
[/code]

yeap get page does work, you made my life so simple now, but it doesnt seem to work for my function:
[code]
<?php
$test = $_GET['page'];
function menucurrent($que){if ($test == $que){echo "current";}}
?>
<ul>
<li id="<?php menucurrent("index")?>"><a href="index.php">Home</a></li>
<li id="<?php menucurrent("archives")?>"><a href="index.html">Archives</a></li>
<li id="<?php menucurrent("downloads")?>"><a href="index.html">Downloads</a></li>
<li id="<?php menucurrent("services")?>"><a href="include.php?page=services">Services</a></li>
<li id="<?php menucurrent("support")?>"><a href="include.php?page=support">Support</a></li>
<li id="<?php menucurrent("about")?>"><a href="include.php?page=about">About</a></li>
</ul>
[/code]
can anyone have a check please?
thanks
TED.

thanks.

The variable "$test" is not defined in the scope of the function. You can pass it in via the arguments, use the "global" statement in the function, or use $_GET['page'] in the function.

Here's the code that would pass it.

[code]<?php
$test = $_GET['page'];
function menucurrent($test,$que) {
  if ($test == $que) echo "current";
}
?>
<ul>
<li id="<?php menucurrent($test,"index")?>"><a href="index.php">Home</a></li>
<li id="<?php menucurrent($test,"archives")?>"><a href="index.html">Archives</a></li>
<li id="<?php menucurrent($test,"downloads")?>"><a href="index.html">Downloads</a></li>
<li id="<?php menucurrent($test,"services")?>"><a href="include.php?page=services">Services</a></li>
<li id="<?php menucurrent($test,"support")?>"><a href="include.php?page=support">Support</a></li>
<li id="<?php menucurrent($test,"about")?>"><a href="include.php?page=about">About</a></li>
</ul>
[/code]

The others are left as an exercise for the reader. :)
