PHP: $HTTP_SERVER_VARS Question

[TomTech]

Take the following line:

$Domain = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_HOST"].$PHP_SELF;

$Domain should contain the name of the location (Domain.Page) that the script executed.

Research has shown me that the amount of information obtained is up to the host (Page-Zone). In some cases it's just the domain name, and in others it's the name of the actual page.

My tests have shown that I'm only getting my domain info, and not the page info I hoped for.

Can Page-Zone clarify this?

Thanks

Tom

use $_SERVER
http://us3.php.net/reserved.variables
as for PHP_SELF it is up to the server, you get either the file name or the path+file name.

and the statement should not be this
$Domain = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_HOST"].$PHP_SELF;
but instead
$Domain = "$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']/$PHP_SELF";
For vars to be properly interpolated they need to be enclosed in double quotes.

Making the change you outline creates an Error on the $Domain Line:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING

Here's the code:

================================================== =
$ip = getenv ("REMOTE_ADDR");
$Domain = "$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']/$PHP_SELF";

mysql_select_db($database) or die("Could Not Select Database");
================================================== =

sorry for taking so long to reply...been busy...but now that ski season is over I'm un-busy.
After relooking at your post I don't see why I did not catch it first. Globals are off. That means you must use the long form for environmental variables.

This code works on my server

<?php
//path info and file name
$pinfo = pathinfo($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
$domain = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$path = $pinfo['dirname'];
$file = $pinfo['basename'];
//output
echo "<p>&nbsp;<p>";
print_r($pinfo);
echo "<p>file name is: $file<br>";
echo "url is: $domain$path/$file";
?>

No biggie on the length of time...

I've been working other aspects of life as well.

I'll look into your code as time permits.

Thanks again.
