Languages :: PHP :: parse_url($REQUEST_URI) doesn't work
By: laputak	Date: 28/09/2004 00:00:00	Points: 50	Status: Answered Quality : Excellent
$url=parse_url($REQUEST_URI); echo $url[query]; this is what i have used. say if i m viewing <A HREF="http://www.aa.com?show=1">http://www.aa.com?show=1</A>. that should output show=1. However, it works in one web server but not the other one. I have already checked the php manual and it says we don't need to change anything in php.ini in order to use URL funtion. does anyone have any clue about this?

use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] you could also use SCRIPT_NAME concatenated with QUERY_STRING

Something to try out too . <?php phpinfo(); ?> And then look for REQUEST_URI in the results. If the server is running an old version of PHP, then you will need to use $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REQUEST_URI']; Richard.

it works after i m using $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']. Do u konw y i need to specifally using $_SERVER on one server while i dont need to put that in another server. do u know how to turn that on ?

in fact, it could depend on PHP version installed

Using the phpinfo(), you can see which one is available. I would then ... if (!isset($_SERVER)) { $_SERVER = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS; } which is a cheat, but then you can write code for both old and new versions of PHP. But in truth, you may have more work to do than that. Ideally, you should have the same version of PHP locally as the ISP. Even if this is old. Unless you are VERY friendly with an ISP, many will rarely update the server as the impact on everyone else on the server is significant. Richard.

Alternatively, ask if they have a newer server running the latest PHP that you can have your site moved to.

agree, and it's sadly the same for $_POST[], $_GET[], etc as it is for $_SERVER[] the best is to drop a page like this on both servers and to show us the top-results (server & PHP versions running) <? phpinfo(); ?>
