Calling the current page

[Argent]

Hi Guys,
I have a footer.php included file from which I need to run a PHP script which extracts the current containing page URL to then echo it to HTML code inside footer.php for a 'Back to top of page' button.

Top of page code inside footer.php: <div id="upArrow"><a href="current-page.php#top"></a></div>

Am I on the right track here? -> <?php get_page( $page_id ) ?>

The following URL shows the page with the working 'Top of Page' button, but the link inside the #upArrow is static — it needs it to 'sense' the current page URL regardless of where you are on the site.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Ain't search engines great?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but why not just use a generic javascript?

<a href="javascript:scroll(0,0)">Back to Top</a>

I include that in footer includes, it scrolls to the top on every page.

If you don't use <base href="..."> in your documents then you don't need the current page at all, just use this:

<div id="upArrow"><a href="#top"></a></div>

If you use <base href> then $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] has everything you need for the link:

<div id="upArrow"><a href="<?=htmlspecialchars($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) ?>#top"></a></div>
