Current url

This might be the dumb one for the day but, I need a PHP function (or
whatever) similar to the JavaScript "self.location" in PHP.

Will someone please put me out of my misery.

Thanks

Look at the header() function in the php documentation. A call like
header("Location: http://example.com/mypage.php?etc") will cause an
instant redirect to that page.

If you want the script to know the URL of the page that called it, use
the predefined variable $_SERVER[] - see
http://us.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php

For example, $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] in a script at the address
http://example.com/mypage.php?etc would be /mypage.php/etc

Hope that helps. -A

Be aware that $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] can be tweaked (since it contains GET
parameters), thus if you want to be safe you should not use it for
generation of <form action='"'>...
