#5032 — Name of page itself?

Hi

I have not worked with PHP for 2+ years, now again and need to refill
my brain...

How can I get the name of the main page?

Say, index.php includes menu.php, how do I get the name of the main
page, in this case index.php?
Next say page1.php, page2.php etc?

Magic constants - in this case __FILE__.

There is really no way to answer that question in an absolute sense, for 
example the "main page" for my web code is "index.php" and *everything* 
goes through that.

If you're working with the usual stuff out of the box, you can use 
phpinfo() to see which variable you'd like to use to figure out what 
you're dealing with... look at things like $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"], 
$_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"], $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"], 
$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] for starters.

I use: basename(__FILE__)

Actually __FILE__ may not give you the results you expect all depending 
on where it is processed.

It will hold the value of the actual page where it is located which 
could not be the actual page being displayed but in a script called by 
the display page.

This would be common for display page to have an included file which 
lets say has a link back to the itself.  Using __FILE__ on the 
processing page will then link it to the actual processing page rather 
then the display page.  In this case using $_SERVER vars mentioned 
earlier would give predictable results (again depending on the server, 
for instance my dev box does not return URI but the production box does) 
but I do believe 'PHP_SELF' is more predictable.

Now a very good use for __FILE__ would be error routines/messages along 
with __LINE__ and others to help report errors on an actual script page.

A php file is NOT the same as a web page. A single php file may have
the ability to generate more than one page. Alternatively many php
files may be used to generate 1 page.

Can you explain why you need to get this information? Then we might be
able to help you get the information that you need.

Or it might generate no pages at all. None of mine do.

build a battleship out of papier mache.

Nothing unusual about a PHP script that generates no output. How about a script that
receives an IPN email, updates a database and sends out an email. No web browser involved
at all.
Cron can start PHP scripts ...

Hmmm.

Seems sort of a shortsighted comment.

What would you use for doing something for example as simple as MySQL DB 
maintenance from a cron job?

But also I would have to say if you are using PHP, then the display page 
would indeed have php code on it (even as simple as a single line 
include/require) in which case pulling the page name is going to be the 
same.

And if the battleship is only a display model on a small shelf then 
paper mache seems feasible.

C, script? anyone of a zillion better tools than PHP..
Currently I use C.

You would be surprised actually at how tough a material it is.

Ok its not quite carbon fibre..laminate.. but actually if you had 
nothing else, it WOULD work.

Which is my point. PHP is not a particularly brilliant language. There 
are better, for all other applications that do NOT expect you to 
routinely switch between echoed output and simple-style coding.

Why not use one?

Because as I mentioned before I can no longer be arsed. PHP is quite 
fast enough. I certainly don't want to fart about doing string handling 
or manipulation in C.

  Why not use C, script?  Well if all your classes are coded in PHP why 
not use those same classes in your cron job?  That way as the needs of 
the project such as a DB change, you only need to focus on the changes 
in the PHP class and not ensure your C or zillion other scripts are 
changed accordingly.

Oy just watch it. Mine generate no web pages because:

1) They are CLI scripts which do things such as check for or create 
certain SQLite databases, and then launch apache and Safari.

or:

2) They are asked, by the browser, via AJAX, to do certain things like 
read/write SQLite databases, communicate with remote hosts, and report 
results back to the browser. Which proceeds to update the already 
existing page based on those results.

In fact I may go through and remove all the <form></form>, since no 
<form> is ever submitted. AIUI, elements such as <button> etc would work 
just as well anyway.

XAseco is a good example. And Nadeo has quite extensive examples how to
use the RPC interface of Trackmania with PHP ;-)

If I understood correctly, it'll be one of these:

     $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']
     $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']
     $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']

Please note that they all refer to the _file_ name (which can show up 
the URL or not).

If it isn't any of them:

	print_r($_SERVER);

> Next say page1.php, page2.php etc?

No entiendo :-?

I'm not sure quite what you mean.

Do you (a) just want the trailing filename, or do you want the trailing 
filename relative to some arbitrary point in (b) the local file 
structure, or (c) an http request url?

The reason I ask is twofold:

1) You don't clarify whether you expect filenames in sub directories to 
include path information or not. I could assume you do, I could assume 
you don't, instead I choose to confirm your expectation in such 
circumstances.

2) If you do expect path information, then although for "http://host/
file" where "file" is at "<docroot>/file", "file" will generally be the 
same for a, b and c, and in many webservers this is probably the case, 
there are probably also many webservers where due to directory aliasing 
in the server, or the use of links (is shortcuts what Ms calls them?) in 
the file system and directory structure, or for some other reason, the 
filename, the "path+file" url components and the actual filesystem 
location of the file (whether absolute or relative to some arbitrary 
point) may bear no obvious relationship whatsoever to each other.

Hence, although I see many answers in this thread that address a flat 
single directory situation, I'm not 100% sure, partly because I'm not 
sure what you actually expect in such cases, that they will give the 
answers you expect in every situation in which you might conceivably 
deploy them.
