Getting the full url/query string with php

[hellonoko]

I am trying to get the full query string from the browser.

 

I have tried a few things. HTTP_REFERER / PHP_SELF / REQUEST_URI

 

But id like to capture the full complete URL.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Ian

There is no set variable that holds the entire URL. However in order to get the entire URL you will need to "stitch" several seperate variables together. Here's an example:

 

<?php

$myURL = 'http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] . '?' . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

echo $myURL;

?>

Thanks.

 

But that seems to add a ? to the end of the URL why is that?

 

Ive also noticed that it does not seem to capture #tags or GET variables ?&variable=value.

I think $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; might work better Add that to your domain and you've got the url.

That works better but still does not pick up tags.

 

I was working with this:

 

<script type="text/javascript">

varURL = window.location.href;

window.location.href = varURL + "?URL=" + varURL; 

</script>


<?php

echo $_GET['URL'];

?>

 

 

But it does not quite work right.

 

I am quite sure how to tweak it to make it do what i want.
