Understanding $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], $PHP_SELF, $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] and $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] in PHP and when to use what

Very useful. lot of thanks

I keep on seeing this php code and when i use it i get nothing but errors.I have php 5.3 the latest.
the code in question is the $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']….

In Apache do I have to turn on the super globals or register globals or is it the latest software no longer supports the php command.

hii

Hmmm….

thanks for sharing valuable information.

I use a $page_name at the top of all my PHP files..it makes things really simple. I do use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] and PATH_INFO , but only when I really need them.

Hi there,

I need to retrieve just the page name from the URL - anyone knows how could I do it?
I want then assing its value to a variable and use it in sql query for comparasion.

Any help would be appreciated.
I look forward.

hey,

I have a problem in which the url isn’t parsed properly so it doesnt add the .php to the end of the address in the url bar. for example, https://www.mysite.com/test/11 is suppose to be https://www.mysite.com/test/11.php the .php is missing.

My code:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
AddType text/xml .xslt

SetHandler text/xml

# PHP is in CGI Mode, so we need a different mod_rewrite
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !categories\.php
RewriteRule ^categories(.*) /categories.php?$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !questions\.php
RewriteRule ^questions(.*)$ /questions.php?$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !search\.php
RewriteRule ^search(.*)$ /search.php?$1 [L]

Hey…I was wondering how to call a particular function by using the $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] command. Is there any supported way of calling a function from this?

$_SERVER variables not set by Tomcat

Not able to get the value for variable in Tomcat 5.5 and PHP Version 5.1.4 configuration

In fact, only values in _SERVER are

_SERVER is array 3
Key: REQUEST_TIME value: 1150399842
Key: argv value: Array
Key: argc value: 0

Searched but couldn’t find anything relevant. Any pointers?
