Question

I’d first like to mention that I’m not looking for an alternative method. I actually want to try and figure out how to fix this. I am sure a lot of you are familiar with this code:

$pageURL = 'http';
if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") 
{
   $pageURL .= "s";
}
   $pageURL .= "://";

if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") 
{
   $pageURL.=_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
}
else {
   $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
}

This code gets the URL of the current page it’s used on. What I want to do is get a string from the URL and put it into a session. I’ve tried using code such:

$_SESSION['pageURL']=$pageURL;

//and

$_SESSION['pageURL']= (string)$pageURL;

So far all of my effort have been fruitless, any help would be much appreciated…

Answer 1

$pageURL already is a string, so:

$_SESSION['pageURL']=$pageURL;

should work without any problems.

Are you using session_start() somewhere?
