I am trying to use the current page path in a script, for example if you have the script in the file www.page.com/products.php a code in this page should return the page path: "www.page.com/products.php".

I used:

PHP Code:

echo ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); 

But I need to use this code in a header so the return path is not full page path but my header path, the header path is posted in all my pages by "include", I need other function to do the same thing but to return complete string from my browser's address bar, not just the link in my header where this code block is located.

Can anyone help?
Thank you.

Well it would probably be best to just define a variable and concat what you need.

PHP Code:

$domain = 'www.page.com';

$redirection = $domain.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; 

However you might be able to use $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] to get what you want, it's just not guranteed to be accurate.

I am not sure how to explain, the above did exactley what my code did and both work only in some situations:

I have one main file (x2.php) that loads the code by include but with FULL path:

PHP Code:

include('http://www.adriantnt.com/x.php'); 

in x.php (the included file) I have:

PHP Code:

$domain = 'www.adriantnt.com'; 

echo($domain.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); 

So when I access www.adriantnt.com/x2.php which has x1 in it I get:
"www.adriantnt.com/x.php"
And what I want to get is the file I typed in address bar, x2.php not x.php
The code displays the corect path if at include I type a relative path like:

PHP Code:

include('x.php'); 

But all my site is made to include the files with full path:

PHP Code:

include('http://www.adriantnt.com/x.php'); 

Is there a way or a function to return the parent file name or its path? in this case name is x2.php

Thank you.

I'm sure there is a solution to your problem, but perhaps you should look at it a different way. I can't think of an application where you would need to do this.

For waht I need it:

Google has a service that translates web pages, something like this:

http://translate.google.com/translat...language_tools

I want ot place this link in my headers, for example it will say "translate into German", but that link should tell google what link to translate so I need a php code that returns path.

My PHP script can find curent page path only if the included file (header) was included by include('header.php') if I use
include('http://www.adriantnt.com/header.php') then it says that curent path is my header not the full page.
So how to use include code? Is it incorect to point to a file like this? http://www.adriantnt.com/header.php ? Do I have to use header.php or something like home/www/header.php ?

What is the corect use of include?
Eventually I will just change paths to my header so it works but maybe I can fing a better solution to return curent page path.
