Resolve URL

[SaRiD]

Hi

I was wondering if there was a way to resolve a url.

E.g.

http://domainname.com/folder/

By default the server will return some sort of index page but that filename isn't needed to be entered for the page to load in a browser.

Is there a way in php to find out the name of the page that is loading?

E.g.

http://domainname.com/folder/

->

http://domainname.com/folder/index.htm

Not on my own server obviously.

Thanks for your help.

Further to that explination

If I wanted to compare two urls:
1.

http://domainname.com/folder/

and
2.

http://domainname.com/folder/index.htm

Although they are exactly the same page, the strings would be different.

I could just strip off the index.htm from the 2nd url and it would work but it would be wrong if I was comparing it with the page:

http://domainname.com/folder/about.htm

I hope this has makes a bit more sense.

how are you loading the page? what are you looking to do?

I've been creating my own spider.

So you enter in a url and it creates a sitemap of that site.

It's all working fine, but this is one little issue that keeps arrising as it causes dupilcates in the sitemap.
