Topic awaiting preservation: Php print url (Page 1 of 1)

Is there a simple PHP command that will print the location it is at?

I have this for my shout box:
<form name="shoutit" method="post" action="index.php">

But I have the script on each page and I am setting up my templates and I was wondering if there was a simple yet effective way to change index.php to what ever page it is currently on automatically...

$PHP_SELF should do the trick for this

you could make a shout.php and have the form action="shout.php"

just a thought

Yeah, I X I's way would be better - if you ever change the script, you only have to change it once in one file.

thank you

That did the trick! Thanks!

The problem with IXI's solutionis that you don't get returned to the page you are on. Shoutbox scripts are usually modules implemented on each page



.:[ Never resist a perfect moment ]:.

you could pass a variable in an <input type="hidden" value="$PHP_SELF" name="backto"> field to the shoutbox php, then send back to the page of that variable.

though you should be using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] instead of depreceated global variable

absolutely
