Not sure if my question is phrased correctly, but I want to get the current page url which for example let's say is:

http://www.mysite.com?gallery=my_pic...&place=jamaica

without any of the &'s and their values. Basically what I want is:

http://www.mysite.com?gallery=my_pics.html

Using this:

PHP Code:

        $pageURL = 'http';

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

        $pageURL .= "://";

        if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {
            $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
        }
        else {
            $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
        }

        return $pageURL; 


returns the whole url, and I know I can use something like:

str_replace('&type=photos&place=jamaica', '', $pageURL);

before returning $pageURL but that's not a viabe option as I will sometimes have two & parameters and sometimes many more.

So is there a way to always strip all &'s and the values from a URL? (btw I still want to keep the ?something just not the &'s)

Use the HTTP variables

PHP Code:

$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . "/" .  $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']

Ahh thanks, The forward slash wasn't necessary though.
