Getting actual site address using php

I need to find out what the exact URL of the page the user has requested is

Hi - I need to run a script that includes a different file depending on whether the user is at "index.php" or "home.php" - how would I check? Is there a variable (I couldnt find one) that holds the filename the user has requested?

Thanks in advance-

will

$_SERVER[SCRIPT_NAME]
or
$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]

But there is a difference between them for example:
calling yourwebsite.com/index.php/whatever/whateverelse
asuming index.php is the script we are talking about.

$_SERVER[SCRIPT_NAME] is /index.php/whatever/whateverelse
and
$_SERVER[PHP_SELF] is /index.php

Hope this helps.

Just to make sure I got it right--

if ($_SERVER[PHP_SELF] == "/index.php")
{ whatever }
else { etc}

would that be right?

Yes. That's right.
