get URL using php

nickyfraggle · 07-05-2007, 05:43 PM

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.

PHP Code:


			
$dirandfile = basename($_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

Code:

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']

the result should be something like

Code:

/articles.php?category=news

Cheers,

This should do it:

PHP Code:


			
$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.
