Check out $_SERVER - PHP_SELF may be what you're looking for.

try parse_url() http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php

Sir both the things i know but i just want to get the page name only! not the whole URL or path or host name

[Amzul]

$url ='http://bytes.com/newthread.php';
$data = parse_url($url);
echo $data['path'];

you can check out the $_SERVER variables when you call phpinfo().

Sir in my case, my path is "rage/biz/site/products.php" and my url is "http://localhost/rage/biz/site/products.php"

As i am running application on my local machine by creating sub directories at the root folder. So in this case how can i get the pagename?

[Dormilich]

get all characters after the last "/". strrpos() may be useful for that.

Try running basename() on the path.

http://php.net/basename

Found this on another website, gets all characters after last "/" this equals to pagename, for example it will echo "index.php" from

http://mywebsite.com/folder1/folder2/index.php

<?php
function curPageName() {
 return substr($_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"],strrpos($_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"],"/")+1);
}
 
echo "The current page name is ".curPageName();
?>
