Retrieving basename of site url using session variable

hi

am using the below shown code for getting index.php of www.test.com/index.php

session_start();
$pagename=pathinfo($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);
$pagename=$pagename["basename"];
$_SESSION['page']=$pagename;

PHP:

$_SESSION['page'] has the value index.php
ie if i am on www.test.com/abc.php $_SESSION['page'] has the value abc.php

it is working fine..
but my problem is that.. if the url is www.test.com/index.php?catid=60
the rest part after index.php ie '?catid=60' is not retrieved..

how can i do that???
please help..
i will be very grateful..
thank you

 

If I'm not mistaking it is basename which only takes the actual page and not the parameters

You could do this:

$url = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];
$page = split("/", $url); //returns an array, we need last item of it
$length = count($page);
$_SESSION['page'] = $page[$length-1];

Code (markup):

 

Think this has to do with a bug of PHP_SELF not working right on older versions of Apache. Maybe try using $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] instead.

 

If you know catid is always going to be the only parameter, you might do this:

session_start();
$pagename=pathinfo($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);
$pagename=$pagename["basename"];
if (isset($_GET['catid'])) {$pagename .= '?catid='.$_GET['catid'];}
$_SESSION['page']=$pagename;
