get URL using php

Hello,

I'm writing a send to a friend script which sends the URL of a webpage to an email address that the user puts into a form.

I'm having trouble getting the URL of the page if it is something like articles.php?category=news

I can handle simple filenames fine like articles.php works no problem.

$dirandfile = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
$domain = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
$url = "http://$domain/$dirandfile";

How can I get my script to handle these url's?

Thank you,

Nicola

Hi Nicola,

try the following

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']

the result should be something like
/articles.php?category=news

Cheers,

This should do it:


$currentpage = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$domain = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
$domain = str_replace('www.', '', $domain);
$domain = "http://www.$domain";
$fullurl = "$domain$currentpage";


you can echo currentpage, domain and fullurl seperately to see each result. I believe you are looking for the fullurl.

Enjoy.

Thank you!!

That's great...

Nicky
