Sometimes, there is a need to get the current url to be used within the php code. This is very useful function for social media shearing, as you might want to sent a current page url to be bookmarked or shared with others. You can easily echo your page url using a very simple php function.
Add the following function
<?php
function CurrentURL()
{
$pageURL = $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'on' ? 'https://' : 'http://';
$pageURL .= $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] != '80' ? $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] : $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
return $pageURL;
}
?>
function CurrentURL()
{
$pageURL = $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'on' ? 'https://' : 'http://';
$pageURL .= $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] != '80' ? $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] : $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
return $pageURL;
}
?>
Echo this function to get the current page URL
<?php echo CurrentURL(); ?>
This is it. I hope you like it. Any comments welcome. Enjoy!
