pagination problem in mod rewrite

[lovesmith]

well i have following lines in my .htaccess file

 

RewriteRule ^contractors/([a-z]*) index.php?uname=$1

 

the link goes like this http://www.mysite.com/contractors/myname goes to http://www.mysite.com/index.php?uname=myname

 

i want to get the value of url like this http://www.mysite.com/contractors/myname, but when i use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] it gives an actual path  index.php. How i can get the re-writed path?

 

 

[trq]

basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
