PHP equivalent?

[Don]

What's the PHP equivalent for the following?

if(window.locat ion == "http:/site.com/page1.html")
{

}
else
{

}

Thanks,
Don

see:

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

and construct the requested URI from the available elements.

$my_page = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if ($my_page == "http:/site.com/page1.html") {

} else {

}

if your page location is : http:/site.com/test/my_first/page1.php
$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] return : site.com
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] return : /test/my_first/page1.php

Thanks much. That works just great.

$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] contains the name of the currently running script,
but that doesn't necessarily have to be the requested URI as seen in the
browser's address bar. $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] will be more accurate.

Re: PHP equivalent?

if("{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}" ===
'mysite.com/pageWhatever.ph p')
{
echo "We're here with pageWhatever.ph p at mysite.com, reporting live!
Now it's time for a commercial break";
}
else
{
echo "Standby for signal...";
}

Untested, I'm not actually sure if you need a slash between the two
variables. Try it yourself and see what you get.

PHP_SELF and REQUEST_URI

Please, no! Words like 'name' and 'script' only keep the
confusion alive. PHP_SELF is simply the path part of the
current resource's URI. There can be all sorts of rewriting
going on backstage which lead to an address bearing no
resemblance to the name of the script it identifies.

True, since an address bar normally shows a URI, the one the
browser parsed to make the request.
[color=blue]

Accuracy doesn't come in to it. You can build the current
URI with REQUEST_URI or PHP_SELF, but they are not the same.

Typically, Request-URI is an absolute-path reference,* that
is, it begins with a single slash. Then, if there is no
query part, REQUEST_URI and PHP_SELF are identical; they are
both the path part of the current resource's URI. If there
is a query part, however, then

PHP_SELF + '?' + QUERY_STRING = REQUEST_URI

The Manual happens to be wrong. It says, without a
semblance of uncertainty, that PHP_SELF is 'the filename of
the currently executing script', which is inexcusable coming
from an authority of its stature.

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

Have a good weekend, Micha!


* But it can also be, among other things, a URI, which
REQUEST_URI should mirror. For example, a Request-line:

GET http://host.invalid/path?query HTTP/1.1

should give a REQUEST_URI of
<http://host.invalid/path?query>.

Not necessarily.

And the one the OP asked for.

If the browser requested '/', PHP_SELF with contain '/index.php'. I
don't consider that identical.

And it gets even more complicated with server-side URI rewriting. In my
current testing scripts PHP_SELF will always contain the same value,
regardless of the requested URI.

Yep.
[color=blue]

Again: Not necessarily.

But that's exactly what PHP_SELF is.

Aha! I was wrong. Thank you for putting me right. May I
repay you now?

Mine shows '/index', without '.php', even though '.php' is
part of the filename. The filename is 'index.php', not
'/index' or 'index'. So in this case PHP_SELF isn't the
filename. In fact, filenames here cannot contain slashes,
and backslashes, not slashes, show directory structure, so
PHP_SELF can't be a filesystem path either.

Nor do I. You're right.

Fascinating. Here, if I request <http://127.0.0.1/php/foo>,
PHP_SELF is '/php/foo' -- not the filename of the script.
If I request <http://127.0.0.1/php/foo.php>, PHP_SELF is
'/php/foo.php' -- again, not the filename. Both URIs
identify the same resource, by the way.

I've shown that to be untrue, haven't I?

This happens with content negotiation (MultiViews) enabled on the
server.

OK, it's "the path and filename of the currently executing script".
At least in most cases ... ;)
