Retrieve Current Script’s URI

@NogDogMar 18.2006 — #How about:

[code=php]
 $thisUri = "http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
 [/code]

@patenaudematauthorMar 18.2006 — #Hmm... not bad, and it is generally pretty functional, but...

There are a few things that I would prefer be in there. For example, the subdomain... if a user types in http://www.example.com, then clicks a link that has the return URI attached, it'll bring them back to http://example.com (of course, www is the only subdomain that would do that most likely... I'd still like that to be there though). I guess that's mostly stylistic, but I still like it.

I'd also prefer not to have to manually write the scheme. Just as a precaution, I'd like this to automatically grab the scheme in case, for example, someone is connecting using https://.

This is a blog engine, so I do have some user-defined information available. For example, I have a constant that contains the URI of the blog (siteURL). Previously, I was doing siteURL.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], but with a blog at http://example.com/blog and a URI of http://example.com/blog/test, I was getting http://example.com/blog/blog/test. In an ideal world, I want to be able to grab what's in the address bar (I realize it's impossible... just fantasizing ?).

I'm thinking of just writing a function that looks for the intersection between siteURL and $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']... or, actually, I could so something like this:

[code=php]$url = parse_url(siteURL);
 $path = $url['path'];[/code]

And then just strip that from the front of $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] with a function. In fact, I think that's what I'll do.

Any better suggestions? ?

@patenaudematauthorMar 18.2006 — #OK, I wrote a function that handles this with the logic above. Seems to work perfectly ?

[code=php]function scriptURI($siteURL) {
 $url = parse_url($siteURL);
 $path = str_replace("/", "\/", $url['path']);
 
 preg_match("/".$path."(.*)/", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],
 $matches);
 
 $uri = $siteURL . $matches[1];
 
 return $uri;
 }[/code]

Hope this can be of some use to someone else!
