Grabbing the current URL as a variable

So I can use it in some script.

Is there a method for grabbing the current URL.

I am building on a "Tell a Friend" script and it currently has me "hard code" typing in the root of the site. I would like for my users to pass on a specific page.

Can PHP grab the current URL and set is as a variable so I can use it as described above?

RE: Grabbing the current URL as a variable

php Code:

Original - php Code
$hostname = $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]; $filename = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; $referer = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]; /* Print current URL / print "http://$hostname/$filename"; print "<br>"; / Print Last URL (Referer) */ print $referer; ?>

 
$hostname = $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"];
$filename = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
$referer  = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
/* Print current URL */
print "http://$hostname/$filename";
print "<br>";
/* Print Last URL (Referer) */
print $referer;
?>

value of old threads...

Been trying desperately to create a form like this for some time, but clicking on that link above gives me a 404 ?

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

function GetCurrentPage() {

 $CurPageURL = 'http';

 if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$CurPageURL .= "s";}

 $CurPageURL .= "://";

 if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {

  $CurPageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];

 } else {

  $CurPageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];

 }

 return $CurPageURL;

}

?>

declare that in an include file or anywhere and call using:

PHP Code:


		
			
echo GetCurrentPage();

PHP Code:


		
			
 $your_variable = GetCurrentPage();

As other friends said, you can get many information using $_SERVER variable.
try this code and use any variable you need:

Code:

<?php
echo "<hr><pre>";
print_r($_SERVER);
echo "</pre><hr>";
?>
