Calling current URL in address bar from an include

[easyedy]

I ran into a prob here with my includes and forms...

 

I'm trying to call a form action for the current page but since the file is an include and froma different host it's returning that host info. Here is what the page looks like:

 

Page is http://www.site.com/page1.php?ord=354

 

HTML

 

include('http://domain.com/file.php') whcih is

<form action="'. $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'" method="get">
<b class="textVerdana">Filter By</b> <select name="sortby" onchange="this.form.submit();">
<option value="id">Id</option>
<option value="aame">Name</option>
<option value="qty">Quantity</option>
</select>
</form>

 

HTML

 

But the $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] is calling http://domain.com/file.php' when I need it to call http://www.site.com/page1.php?ord=354. Can I do this with PHP or do I need js?

Try using this instead

 

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']

If im understanding you right its possible with PHP or should be.. But Im really sleepy right now so the solution evades me, I deffinately want to say that I think it involves your $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].. cause the php_self part defines your page your site, not the refering site or link from.

 

But the problem is these urls in mention are the dynamic or static? if they are static why not hard code it.. or are you looking for a specific variable?

 

You need to go more in depth as to what your doing with your page vs. where the other URL is coming from and what its for and so on.. give a live example even :-)

Hmmm... maybe this is a better explanation.

 

URL - http://www.domain.com/mypage.php code is this

 

This is my sort page<br><? php include('http://www.otherdomain.com/sort.php'); ?>

 

The include URL - http://www.otherdomain.com/sort.php

 

<? php
echo '<form action="'. $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] .'" method="get">
<b class="textVerdana">Filter By</b> <select name="sortby" onchange="this.form.submit();">
<option value="id">ID</option>
<option value="name">Name</option>
<option value="qty">Quantity</option>
</select>
</form>';

?>

 

So since http://www.otherdomain.com/sort.php is different than http://www.domain.com/mypage.php the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] is returning /sort.php which will cause the form not to work.
