Finding the Current Request URL from the address bar.

[kks_krishna]

hi,

 

$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']

 

working only for the current file. for example i have one url which includes the footer.php. If am using the above variables, it shows the path of the footer file in the server. But i want the main url in the address bar.

 

For example i have the url http://www.sit.com/articles/2007/07/access/

 

In this case the above url includes footer.php where i am writing the common scripts. I want to access the main url in the address bar in ths footer.php. how can i do that?

$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

[kks_krishna]

no..its is not showing the entire url . It displays only the website url like www.sitename.com

[teng84]

$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/'.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']

[kks_krishna]

I have tried it. $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] gets the server root, if it is included file also then it takes the "footer.php". But i want the exact url in the address bar..

Please help me.

Put this code on the page

 

<?php

echo '<pre>';
print_r($_SERVER);
echo '</pre>';

?>

 

Look through the list and find the variable you want.

[teng84]

maybe i just dont understand but you cant determine or get the include files once the browser reads your script

or explain your objectives a bit more

[kks_krishna]

None of the variables are satisfied my need. I think i have to use javascript for that.

 

Put this code on the page

 

<?php

echo '<pre>';
print_r($_SERVER);
echo '</pre>';

?>

 

Look through the list and find the variable you want.

Could you copy and paste all the variables it gave you? Maybe you can combine two of them to get what you want?

[kks_krishna]

no..i think you are not understanding my problem.

 

For example i have the url : www.sitename.com/articles/2007/10/article-name/

This url is included three files like header.php,footer.php,etc.

 

So, now my logic goes inside the footer.php. some thing like this :

 

	$text = $_SERVER['proper_string'];
$text = substr($text,0,strrpos($text,"/"));
$text = substr($text,strrpos($text,"/")+1);

 

I need the URL in the address bar to manipulate the string. here what i get is www.sitename.com/articles/templates/footer.php instaed of www.sitename.com/articles/2007/10/article-name/.

 

Are you clear with my questions? Can i do this in PHP?

 

thanks,

[kks_krishna]

If i could do not the same logic in the PHP, then I have to go for javascript. I am not very good in PHP. Please help me.
