Function / Constant returning path of current file...

skinme! · 08-01-2002, 10:23 PM

Say the current page is:

http://mysite.com/somedir/go.php

Is there a constant or function that will return a string / contain the path to the file? (in this case "http://mysite.com/somedir/")

Failing that, how can I get to this result?

This will print out all the variables that PHP has available run it and you will see your options...

PHP Code:


			
<?

ob_start();

print_r($GLOBALS);

$str = ob_get_contents();

$str=nl2br($str);

ob_end_clean();echo $str;

?>

but I think
echo 'http://'.$HTTP_SERVER_VARS[HTTP_HOST].$HTTP_SERVER_VARS[REQUEST_URI];

will be what you are looking for?

(note 4.02+ & you can do this)
echo 'http://'.$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST].$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI];

That was the beginning of what I needed. I then got rid of the file name:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

$fullpath = 'http://'.$HTTP_SERVER_VARS[HTTP_HOST].$HTTP_SERVER_VARS[REQUEST_URI];

$thisfile = basename($fullpath);

$cutoffpos = strpos($fullpath,$thisfile);

$thisdir = substr($fullpath, 0, $cutoffpos);

?>

Say the current file is: http://mysite.com/somedir/go.php
$thisdir will contain http://mysite.com/somedir/.

Thanks.
