Question

I moved a WordPress installation to a new folder on a Windows/IIS server. I’m setting up 301 redirects in PHP, but it doesn’t seem to be working. My post URLs have the following format:

http:://www.example.com/OLD_FOLDER/index.php/post-title/ 

I can’t figure out how to grab the /post-title/ part of the URL.

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] – which everyone seems to recommend – is returning an empty string. $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] is just returning index.php. Why is this, and how can I fix it?

Answer 1

Maybe, because you are under IIS,

$_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] 

is what you want, based on the URLs you used to explain.

For Apache, you’d use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].
