Topic awaiting preservation: page location (Page 1 of 1)

yo does anybody know how to get the web address of a page like http://whatever.com/page.php

Get it how, from where, for what?

You need to get a paid host (or register the domain name via Geocities or some free host) and then purchase the domain name, setting the DNSs to those that your host says to.

Ozone Asylum KILLED my inner child.

can you be a bit more explicit ?

From what I understand, you want to know how to register a domain name. That's simple, check if the domain name you want is available ( that's possible in many places, and of course on the internic ), then register/buy it. You'll need to find a place to host to make your domain name point to. However most web hosts offers the possibility to register your domain name while you apply for a host on their servers. Thus the procedure is extremely easy.

Finding a web host shouldn't be hard. In the first place, check the Hosting, then of course you can also check the price lists and offers of the company hosting the Asylum, i.e. dreamhost.

Hope that helps,
Otherwise, please try to rephrase your needs.

no i mean the actual page like in my script as a variable
if im at www.whatever.com how do i get that as a variable without having to type print("www.whatever.com");
sorry for not being more clear

Oh, so we're in front of a "RTFM" case.

Ah yes - PHP_SELF...

or perhaps he needs...

$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];

but poi's link shows all the info you'll need.

Also phpinfo(); is useful when you're learning and testing a page.
