grab URL as string

[jason604]

How does one get the entire URL, I'm particularly interested
in getting the http and/or https.... am I going about this wrong... I need to find a way to detect if the current page
is in use is using SSL or not

Thank you in advance

The parse_url function may be of use to you. I only stumbled upon it the other day by accident.

Nice one, Sid -- definitely useful. If for whatever reason you don't want to use it, you can try something like this:

<?php
  $url = "http://www.yahoo.com";
  if (strpos($url, "s") == 4) {
    print "Secure";
  } else {
    print "Not Secure";
  }
?>

Add the "s" after "http" and the output should change. Best of luck!
