[SOLVED] Get page url

[CanMan2004]

Hi all

Just wondering if anyone can help me, basically im displaying the URL of the page on each page of my site, the code I use is

[code]<?
$url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
print $url;
?>[/code]

One of the things I do is to highlight the area in the navigation the user is on by doing an if statement.

The problem I have is that one of my pages has a form on it, which the method is GET, so when I use the form, it can put a

?name=David&age=32

at the end of the url, for example

contact.php?name=David&age=32

When this happens, my IF statement does not work, because the URL has been changed from

contact.php

to

contact.php?name=David&age=32

Does this make sense?

What I need to do, is to figure out a way to use the following

[code]<?
$url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
print $url;
?>[/code]

but to remove anything after .php, so it would change a URL from

contact.php?name=David&age=32

to

contact.php

Can this be done, if it makes sense to anyone.

Thanks

Dave

A quick solution would be....

[code]
<?php
$url = explode('?',$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
print $url[0];
?>
[/code]

You might also think about using POST instead of GET.

Try taking a look at [url=http://php.net/parse_url]parse_url()[/url].
