Question

Having an issue here where the

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] 

is spitting out:
/dev/nava2/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=48

the actual URL is /dev/nava2/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=48

obviously, the difference being the & on the top vs. the & on the bottom

full code looks like this:

$currentpage = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];  
$classic = "/dev/nava2/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=48";


if ($currentpage == $classic) 
    { $classicclass = "current";

    } 

else { echo "";} 

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

& is the html entity corresponding to &. You can obtain to original string back with html_entity_decode :

$original = html_entity_decode($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
