Using Php I would like to extract the current Url of a page including all variables attached to it. $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] only return the url without the variable . any idea what function I need.
example : www.site.com/?v1=xyz&v2=123
using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] I get only : www.site.com as opposed to the whole url. using $_GET[] individually is not an opton since I am not sure what variable are attached to the URL.
thank you
You could output the content of the $_SERVER super-global variable : there are many interesting things in there ;-)
For example, calling a page with an URL like this :
http://localhost/temp/temp.php?a=10&b=glop
And using :
var_dump($_SERVER);
I get at least :
array
...
'HTTP_HOST' => string 'localhost' (length=9)
...
'REQUEST_METHOD' => string 'GET' (length=3)
'QUERY_STRING' => string 'a=10&b=glop' (length=11)
'REQUEST_URI' => string '/temp/temp.php?a=10&b=glop' (length=26)
'SCRIPT_NAME' => string '/temp/temp.php' (length=14)
'PHP_SELF' => string '/temp/temp.php' (length=14)
'REQUEST_TIME' => int 1270060299
In there, I suppose at least those could interest you :
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] : contains the whole query string ; i.e. the list of all parameters and their values$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] : contains the requested URI -- including the parameters
$request = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
For the entire path and Query strings.
Use $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] to retrieve the variables part.

The best solution I have found so far is this one: http://hayageek.com/php-get-current-url/
function getCurrentURL() {
$currentURL = (@$_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") ? "https://" : "http://";
$currentURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"];
if($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80" && $_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "443") {
$currentURL .= ":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"];
}
$currentURL .= $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
return $currentURL;
}
Two lines:
$base_url = ( isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS']=='on' ? 'https' : 'http' ) . '://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
url = $base_url . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
