Calling the URL using HTML, PHP or JavaScript

~~Jayso~~ · 12-16-2005, 07:31 PM

Hello there, does anybody know how to call the URL from a website using HTML, JavaScript, or PHP? I'm sure that it is quite easy, in fact i remember using a javascript code that did so ages ago...

Thanks for your help

Call the URL? Like create a link?

Or find the link of the referrer, to tell where they came from?

Call the URL.

As in if the site was located at www.test.com/test/index.php, then it would be able to do something with www.test.com/test/index.php (for example display a JavaScript alert with this, or print the URL)

Actually after stuffing around with virtual hosts and installing different versions of php on both and running the phpinfo() command to test, i actually found a better way of doing this (using PHP)

PHP Code:


			
<?php 

    $a = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

    print $a;

?>

Still thanks for your help, i now have two ways to do this!
