SERVER REQUEST_URI 2

[pastorandy]

I am doing this on a small intranet

$current_page = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

This brings back something like: /dir/page.php

But can also bring back: /dir/order.php?order_id=3456

Which is fine but how can I limit the url string to just the file name without the directory and without any variables passed in the url string?

You'll need to manipulate the string, something like:

$mystr="/dir/order.php?order_id=3456";

if(strpos($mystr,"/")!==false){

$parts=explode("/",$mystr);
$urlA=$parts[count($parts)-1];
}
else{
$urlA=$mystr;
}
if(strpos($urlA,"?")){
$urlB=explode("?",$urlA);

$filename=$urlB[0];
}

else{

$filename=$urlA;
}
echo $filename;

This quite dirty, but gets the job done. You could stick this in a function to tidy it up a bit.

Thanks. I'll give this a try tomorrow and post back.

you can also try the built in functions from php

$pageName = pathinfo(parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH) , PATHINFO_BASENAME);

Apparently there's a lot of ways to accomplish this:

$pageName = basename(__FILE__);

__FILE__ is a constant that includes the path to a filename and filename and basename is a function that rips out the path.

Afaik the __FILE__ constant reports the name of the script actively being executed at that time. This may well not be the same as the uri that was requested ( for example in despatch applications or in sites that make use of mod rewrite )

Works a treat JP. Thanks guys.
