PHP Determining the current url

Question

I need to modify my function to return also the current folder I am in. Here is my current function:

function getLinkFromHost($url){  
    $port = $_SERVER[\         


        

Answer 1

Probably you also want to include get vars into your url, so you should add something to highphilosopher function...

$current_url = rtrim(curPageURL(), "/").(!empty($_GET)) ? "?".http_build_query($_GET) : "";

Answer 2

..........

echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; // return current file

echo __FILE__; // return current file

echo $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']; // return current file

echo dirname(__FILE__); // return current script's folder

// etc

Answer 3

Here's a method that might help:

function current_url()
{
    $result = "http";

    if($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") $result .= "s";

    $result .= "://".$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"];

    if($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") $result .= ":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"];

    $result .= $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];

    return $result;
}

Answer 4

Take a look at $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] or $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']

(From the $_SERVER manual entry)

Answer 5

Here a short sweet function I've been using to do this for awhile now.

function curPageURL() {
 $pageURL = 'http';
 if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";}
 $pageURL .= "://";
 if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {
  $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
 } else {
  $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
 }
 return $pageURL;
}
