Getting address bar contents with PHP

[Spidah]

How do I get the contents of the browser address bar with PHP - assuming it
is possible?

In javascript it is done with: unescape(window.location.pathname), but is
there a php equivalent?

Thanks

would SERVER['PHP_SELF'] do the job?

For this url -> http://www.example.com/path/to/location.php?x=one&y=two

#v+
<?php
$fulluri = 'http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
echo $fulluri;
?>
#v-

will output
http://www.example.com/path/to/location.php?x=one&y=two

No
$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] should be prefered.

$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] is better actually, as it gives you the port number as
well.

It wouldn't work in a frameset though. Least not that I could see.

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] is rteturning nothing here. Any idea why that might
be?

I have however managed to get what I need with:

$temp = "http://" .
$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']."/".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?".$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'
];
echo $temp;

Or if the URL contained a fragment identifier:
http://www.example.com/foo.php#bar

You won't get the "#bar"

Framesets are totally client-side. You'd have to use JavaScript to pass the
value to PHP, then.

Not always.

Consider the URL http://talrias.net/

I have a file called index.php which is the default file served.
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] would return '/index.php' while
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] would return '/'.

Also, if I am using something like mod_rewrite PHP_SELF is completely
different to REQUEST_URI.

Since the original poster said they wanted the contents of the URI bar
they should be using REQUEST_URI rather than PHP_SELF. :)
