PHP help please

[3Xguru]

I want to make a script with a plug and play adult flash e-card that webmasters can put on their website. I have searched the web resources but I cannot seem to understand how to make the script load in a variable the adress of the script(the complete addres).


So if the script is located at http://www.domain.com/script.php I want to load this URL into a variable dynamicaly, and if the script name is changed, so does the variable.

Can anione help?

Create a file, phpinfo.php for example, and put <?phpinfo();?>
. you will find the variable (and many more) in the output.

$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] will give you the path of the php file that is executing...... so do this :

$current_page = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$full_web = "http://www.yourdomain.com" . $current_page;

[Rory]

That will work for PHP 4.1+ .. for lower version numbers (get your ass current lol) try $HTTP_SERVER_VARS instead of $_SERVER . That should work even if php is buried in several different dirs. So DONT change the "http://www.yourdomain.com" part to something like "http://www.yourdomain.com/path/to" . Just thought I would clarify.

Yes, I understand the PHP_SELF part, but I also need the name of the domain to be loaded dynamicaly. How do I do that?

$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] then

[Rory]

So here is everything you need :

$current_host = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$current_path = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

$full_web_path = "http://" . $current_host . $current_path; 

Now the variable $full_web_path contains the correct info. The "http://" is optional. Like I said above if your PHP < 4.1 you will need to use $HTTP_SERVER_VARS instead of $_SERVER. So this would replace if you are running an earlier version of PHP :

$current_host = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST'];
$current_path = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'];

$full_web_path = "http://" . $current_host . $current_path; 

Hope that helps.
