Request string without GET arguments [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] to get requested path. Then, you'll need to remove the parameters...

$uri_parts = explode('?', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 2);

Then, add in the hostname and protocol.

echo 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $uri_parts[0];

You'll have to detect protocol as well, if you mix http: and https://. That I leave as an exercise for you. $_SERVER['REQUEST_SCHEME'] returns the protocol.

Putting it all together:

echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_SCHEME'] .'://'. $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] 
     . explode('?', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 2)[0];

...returns, for example:

http://example.com/directory/file.php

• $_SERVER — Server and execution environment information
• explode — Split a string by a string
• parse_url — Parse a URL and return its components (possibly a better solution)
