Answer 2

I think this method is good..try it

if($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == "localhost"){
    define('SITEURL', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
    define('SITEPATH', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
    define('CSS', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/css/');
    define('IMAGES', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/images/');
}
else{
    define('SITEURL', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
    define('SITEPATH', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
    define('TEMPLATE', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/incs/template/');
    define('CSS', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/css/');
    define('IMAGES', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/images/');
}

Answer 3

Try this:

print_r($_SERVER);

$_SERVER is an array containing information such as headers, paths, and script locations. The entries in this array are created by the web server. There is no guarantee that every web server will provide any of these; servers may omit some, or provide others not listed here. That said, a large number of these variables are accounted for in the » CGI/1.1 specification, so you should be able to expect those.

$HTTP_SERVER_VARS contains the same initial information, but is not a superglobal. (Note that $HTTP_SERVER_VARS and $_SERVER are different variables and that PHP handles them as such)

Answer 4

This works for both HTTP and HTTPS.

echo 'http' . (($_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'on') ? 's' : '') . '://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

Output something like this.

https://example.com/user.php?token=3f0d9sickc0flmg8hnsngk5u07&access_level=application

Answer 5

Here's a solution using a ternary statement, keeping the code minimal:

$url = "http" . (($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 443) ? "s" : "") . "://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

This is the smallest and easiest way to do this, assuming one's web server is using the standard port 443 for HTTPS.

Answer 6

You can make use of HTTP_ORIGIN as illustrated in the snippet below:

if ( ! array_key_exists( 'HTTP_ORIGIN', $_SERVER ) ) {
    $this->referer = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
} else {
    $this->referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_ORIGIN'];
}
