parse_url(), $_REQUEST_URL help needed

Feb 19.2004

Alright, on my site I need to be able to get the current url of the page then take it apart so i only have the end filename. (i.e.: the url is [url]http://www.blah.com/foo/foo.php[/url]
and i get foo.php)

ive heard of a function parse_url that seems to fit my purpose and a variable that gets the current url, $_REQUEST_URL.

And I’m 100% lost on both… and PHP.net gives the worst explanations, everything relevant i know of php i learned from w3schools. will someone plz help me?

@Paul_JrFeb 19.2004 — Well so far I've been muddling my way around PHP, reading posts, going to sites and stuff, so I dunno if this will work, or if it's even correct.
[code=php]
<?php
$string = "http://projep.t35.com/foo/foo.php";
$newstring = explode("/", $string);
echo $newstring[4];
?>
[/code]
That will echo out "foo.php".

I just looked this up in the PHP Manual and played about with it. ?

Now i need a variable for the page's own url...

and what's this php manual you speak of?

@Ben_RogersauthorFeb 19.2004 — oh i call that php.net, not the manual lol

o yeah, and i think i found the solution to the needing the header part... i made a test script and it worked
[code=php]
<?php
$string = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$newstring = explode("/", $string);
echo $newstring[2];
?>
[/code]
Obviously it'll require tweaking but i think i'll b able to handle it.

Thanks everyone ?

@Ben_RogersauthorFeb 19.2004 — Good to know. You know if it weren't for these forums I wouldn't have even considered learning php?

@Paul_JrFeb 19.2004 — If it weren't for this forum, I doubt I'd be learning [i]anything[/i]. ? I started out with HTML Goodies, recommended by some guy I used to know, and one day I clicked on the "forums" link at the top, and badda-bing, here I am now. ?
