In PHP, is there a reliable and good way of getting these things:

Answer 1

Here's what I use:

    function my_server_url()
    {
        $server_name = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];

        if (!in_array($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'], [80, 443])) {
            $port = ":$_SERVER[SERVER_PORT]";
        } else {
            $port = '';
        }

        if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && (strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) == 'on' || $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == '1')) {
            $scheme = 'https';
        } else {
            $scheme = 'http';
        }
        return $scheme.'://'.$server_name.$port;
    }
