Including a page's url in a hyperlink on it

For adding links to bookmark sites

[Rog82]

Hi,

I'm trying to add links to my site to recommend articles to stumbleupon, digg etc and need to automaticaly include the url of the page in the link to recommend it so the link on the page www.example.com/details.php?id=55
looks something like:

www.example.com/submit?url=www.example.com/details.php?id=55

is there a universal way to write this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could try something like:

$thisurl = "http://www.example.com".$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
$link = "www.example.com/submit?url=$thisurl";

Thanks that's really helpful, I'll let you know how I get on.

this might work better if you have non-alphanumeric characters in the url:

$thisurl = "http://www.example.com" . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
$link = "www.example.com/submit?url=" . urlencode($thisurl);

This doesn't seem to be working, I put the

$thisurl = "http://www.example1.com" . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

line in above the box with the links in and it just printed the line on the page

also should the link look like:

<a href="http://www.example2.com/submit?url=". urlencode($thisurl);> Example 2</a>

(where example1 is my site and example2 is the destination site)

thanks

$thisurl = "http://www.example1.com" . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

You don't need the ending bracket.

$thisurl = "http://www.example1.com" . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

$thisurl = "http://www.example.com" . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
$link = "www.example.com/submit?url=" . urlencode($thisurl);

except that it's a different example.com, so you just confused my "example", thanks.

let's try this:

$thisurl = "http://www.example.com" . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$link = "bookmark.example.com/submit?url=" . urlencode($thisurl);

Thanks, I think I'm almost there, but writing links in the form:

$link = "bookmark.example.com/submit?url=" . urlencode($thisurl);

doesn't create a link, I just get that printed on the page. Is there a way to write it in the form:

<a href="bookmark.example.com/submit?url=" . urlencode($thisurl);>bookmark.example</a>

currently trying this it links exactly as it is writen rather than replacing the last bit with the pages URL.

Cheers
