Re: Display URL

The problem is that I used a form with "get". So I need all that information in the URL. when I use that javascript tag, it displays the correct URL, but it I can't insert the javascript into 'href=' like I can with PHP.

Re: Display URL

ok then well theres two ways to do this then...

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
$url = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']."?".$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
echo $url;
$url = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']."?".$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
echo $url;

this will always assume there is arguments in the address so u will always see a question mark int the address, a better way of doing this would be to test if there actually was any arguments before just adding the question mark such as in this example:

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
$url = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
if (!empty($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]))
	$url .= "?".$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
 
echo $url;
$url = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
if (!empty($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]))
	$url .= "?".$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

echo $url;

i hope this answers any questions you do have
