Get full web page URL from address bar
Get full web page URL from address bar
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to get current web page url from your web browser address bar using php script. 
 
Syntax

<?php
$url="http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
echo $url;
?>

Overview

In this tutorial, you'll learn 2 functions in php to get full url from address bar.

1. $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']
2. $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']

$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] this function will show only server name.
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] this function will show you the path to file of your url.

Example
url


In the image is a url from apple website. When you run $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; you'll get result "www.apple.com" only, no "http://" no "/downloads/dashboard/email_messaging/todo.html"

<?php
$server=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
echo $server;
?>

You'll get this is result
www.apple.com

When you run this script "$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']" you'll get the result below, no "http://" and no "www.apple.com

<?php
$request_url=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
echo $request_url;
?>
This is result when you run $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']
/downloads/dashboard/email_messaging/todo.html

To get full URL from this site you, we have to use (.) to connect 2 functions together and create http:// by yourself.
<?php
$url="http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
echo $url;
?>
