$ SERVER["REQUEST URI"] includes domain unexpectedly

[stidj]

Hey guys

In my old server running Apache 1.3 and PHP 4 this code will return just the URI as expected:

$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] = "/some-html-file.html"

In my new server with Apache 2 & PHP 4 this code returns the domain:
$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] = "/full-domain-name.com/some-html-file.html"

Does anyone know a way to change things so the code will not return the domain name and whether this is because of PHP or Apache that I'm suddenly getting the full domain name?

Thanks guys

I guess REQUEST_URI returns full path including domain name.

anyway you can print_r($_SERVER); to see all the variables and then choose whichever provides you the exact value you want also you can read the parse_url() manual [php.net]

Very strange. I wonder if you can't use PHP_SELF?

Strange indeed. Are you certain there isn't some type of redirection in place? Check your headers during a request to see ...
