Return current page and variables: $PHP_SELF dose not do it.

[Seth]

If my current page is:
http://www.domainname.com/index.php?...=mfrs/register
$PHP_SELF returns:
index.php
What function can I use to return:
index.php?menu=man&pageid=mfrs/register

Thanks for your help.

I think you want $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] . $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]

you can see them all if you do a phpinfo();

Hang on, what about '$PHP_SELF?menu=man&pageid=mfrs/register' ?

That will return '$PHP_SELF?menu=man&pageid=mfrs/register'

try $PHP_SELF.'?menu=man&pageid=mfrs/register'
or "$PHP_SELF?menu=man&pageid=mfrs/register"

I use $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] . ($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] != '' ? '?' .
$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] : '')

thats hardcoded, I think he want to use a dynamic solution, if ex. the
url changes etc. And why hardcode it when you got all the info in the
server array.

Right, thats probably more correct, if the query string is empty at times ..

sorry about the inverted commas. I meant by them to say use the text
within them.

As for a dynamic solution - substitute 'man' with $man or {$row['man']}
or whatever and you've got a dynamic solution.

No doubt, the other method provided is more correct and more dynamic I
just thought the OP might appreciate the simplicity of this solution -
at least in terms of implementation relative to what they had already.
Actually I'll use the SERVER method myself once I figure out how to
implement it! Until then the method I describe works just fine for me.

Cheers,

I´d also suggest the $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] solution. But if that´s
something you need on every page of your website, maybe a session with
those variables would be the better solution.

Is the above method better or worse than $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

If you want to grab part of the URL, I'd use your REQUEST_URI or
QUERY_STRING, since PHP_SELF corresponds to the URL by coincidence
only.
