Returning the Current Page URL

Using PHP you can return the current url of the page by simply using :

$pageURL = 'http://'.$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
echo $pageURL;

By using string manipulation you can also us this function to return the end characters of the url request.

For the following url: http://zenduo.co.uk/folder/page.php?g2_itemId=89 we can return the end numbers using the following code:

$pageURL = 'http://'.$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
$pageURL = substr($pageURL,strrpos($pageURL,"=")+1);
echo $pageURL;

The result of this would be 89.
