Refferring page and current page?

[Michelle]

Hi all...again,

I can't find a var that contains the referring page (I've looked on PHP.net and in several
books)...there is one in ASP, so I am assuming there is one in PHP, too. And, I would like to test
for the current page so that I can modify my menu and footer depending on the currently loaded
page...is there a var that reveals this?

Thanks,

Miki

I think you're searching for superglobals like those:

http://php.net/globals

And, more explicitely:

http://de3.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php#reserved.variables.server

And, even more:

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']

Saludo

<?php
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
?>

but this fakeable -- same as for ASP :)


read the docs

http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php#reserved.variables.server

The other reserved variables are described @

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php#language.variables.superglobals
