how can it b done?? pls hellp........

 

You can do this in php. To retrieve strings from url's, make use of php predefined variables. A list is over here at: http://uk2.php.net/reserved.variables

To get the page from the url you can simply use this script

$pagename=pathinfo($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);
$pagename=$pagename["basename"];

and then echo the variable pagename like so:

echo $pagename;

There are many useful variables already built in, ensure you make full use of them

 

thank u...

i am able to retrieve the base of url using

$pagename=pathinfo($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);
$pagename=$pagename["basename"];

but

i want to use the value of $pagename in place of "----" in the below shown line of code......

<a href="-----"><img src="arabic.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a>

how can i do it???pls help.........

 

If you wanted to do that then why did you need the specific page name? :S You can use it like this though:
<a href="<?php $pagename ?>"><img src="arabic.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a>

 

Thank u for ur help...

i tried doing that...but its not working...

<a href="<?php $pagename ?>"><img src="arabic.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a>

when i am in the site.php or whatever page i am viewing then and clicking the link it is directing to index.php

pls help......
