Question

It does not seem as simple. I use this popular function to get page full URL:

private function getBaseUrl() {
    $pageURL = 'http';
    if ($_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"];
    }
    return $pageURL;
}

My PHP5 is on Windows server! That is why $_SERVER[“REQUEST_URI”] is empty. I used this workaround for Windows:

function fixRequestURI() {
    if(!isset($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) {
        $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
        if($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) {
            $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] .= '?' . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
        }
    }
}

However, it kinda works. My full URL is:

http://www.domain.com/web/en/contact/

Strangely, I get this as a result of my functions above:

http://www.domain.com/directory1/web/en/contact/index.php?go=3

This, so called, “directory1” is my physical directory to which domain.com is mapped. I understand the implications but… how would I get my full URL easily without any fixes, adjustments, etc. just like in JavaScript using document.location.href?

Thanks

Answering my question: this worked for me:

function getFullUrl() {     
    $pageURL = 'http';
    if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";}
        $pageURL .= "://";          
    if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {
        $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER['HTTP_X_REWRITE_URL'];
    } else {
        $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER['HTTP_X_REWRITE_URL'];//$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] blank
    }
    return $pageURL;
}

Please send me any thoughts if it can ever fail in any special circumstances.
