Getting actual url?

[Thomas -Balu- Walter]

Hi guys...

is there any way to get the actual called URL into a variable? I am not
thinking of
'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAM E"].':'.$_SERVER["SERVER_POR T"]

because this obviously does not differ e.g. between http: and https: or
perhaps a user:pass-combo included in the url...

What I usually do in these circumstances is:

echo '<pre>';
print_r($_SERVE R);
echo '</pre>';
die;

And check the output for variables I could use.

This is what I did (I used phpinfo(); though) and did not find a
solution, thats why I asked here...

Would still require concatenation.. but you could use 'getservbyport' :


$url =
getservbyport($ _SERVER['HTTP_PORT']) . '://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] .
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] . ':' .
$_SERVER['HTTP_PORT'];


This would detect 'http' or 'https' etc. As for user:pass combos, PHP has
built in SuperGlobals to handle these too (PHP_AUTH_USER etc).


HTH =)

getservbyport() just guesses the port by e.g. something like
/etc/services? So if you have a testserver running on port 23 (you never
know what wierd things admins do) it will report "telnet"?

Nice idea, but still a little "luck" is needed to make that work
globally.

OK... I've been watching this thread hoping that I'd snag a better
solution, but this is what I have been using:

function getThisUrl(){
if(isset($_SERV ER['HTTPS']) && strtolower($_SE RVER['HTTPS']=='on'))
$url='https://';
else
$url='http://';
if(isset($_SERV ER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])){
$url.=$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'];
if(isset($_SERV ER['PHP_AUTH_PW']))
$url.=':'.$_SER VER['PHP_AUTH_PW'];
$url.='@';
}
$url.=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
if($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']!=80 && $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']!=443)
$url.=':'.$_SER VER['SERVER_PORT'];
$url.=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
return $url;
}

Thanks for sharing your code, I was doing something like this myself by
now and just thought I'd ask here to foind a better solution.

If there is no other suggestion I am going to propose a feature request
for a $_SERVER['FULL_URI'] or similar :)
