Hi,
u can use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] to get the current url.

Heya, Mandar.

Do you mean the content of the <title> tag in the HTML?

If you mean the name of the variable that points to the window object... even JavaScript can't do that.

The name of the windows is only available client-side I suppose. PHP can't communicate with a client-side language like Javascript (well it could when you use ajax, but I don't think that is what you are looking for).

What you could do is add the window name to the url that is used by this window, for instance "http://www.yourdomain.com/window.php?name=theName".

You can know access this name with:

echo $_GET[theName]

Depending on what you are trying to achieve...

you could use js to assign the window name as a text value to a blank hidden input field, e.g. document.formname['hiddenInput'].value = 'windowName';
submit the form and pick up the name in PHP from the POST/GET array.
