PHP: Fetching foldername from URL

Mar 16th, 2008

Hi,

I came up with this problem last night.

I have a URL http://www.mysite.com

How do I fetch the folder name that was supplied in the URL.

For example:

http://www.mysite.com/xyz
or
http://mysite.com/myfolder
or
http://www.mysite.com/xxx

Please note that I can either use www or http://www or just http:// in my domain name but I need to fetch the folder name that was supplied in the URL.

PS:

I tried the following code, but it didnt revealed the foldername supplied

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

Please help.

Thanx

maybe you look for: $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REQUEST_URI"]

you get something like "/home/user123/htdocs/myfolder/"

than you can work the folder out with explode
