How to read the current query (URL)

[M.Braun]

Hi,
I try to create a dynamic webpage as dynamic as possible.
Now I want to create a script which manage a content navigation.
My problem is: How do read the current URL query.
For example: The current open file is: http://www.xyz.com/test.php
Now I want to create an variable which contents "test.php"

I know, there are several methods with the file functions to read a path
.... but how do I get the complete URL out of the query into a variable?

Thx for help
Sorry, my english isn't very well

Use the $_SERVER auto global array, specifically the

$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']

But have a look at all of the available stuff in there:

<?php
echo '<pre>';
print_r($_SERVER);
echo '</pre>';
?>

$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']
__FILE__

A day doesn't go by without someone asking this same question...

The variables that you give you the complete URL are $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']
and $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].

The variables that you give you the complete URL are
$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] and $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].

So then what is getenv("REQUEST_URI") used for? I thought that's what I
should use to verify the current page's URL. Are you saying that the
$_SERVER way is better for this? Also, is either one of these methods
utilizing register globals? I want to try and stay away from using the
globals way of doing things, and so many of the tutorials on the net are
taking this 'easy way'.
