Let the page path be: http://localhost/test/admin/index.php

Get the server name/site name of your website:

echo $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];

or,

echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

This will print: localhost

Get the path of the page you are working on:

echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

This will print: /test/admin/index.php

Get only the directory name of the page you are working on, i.e. if you don’t want the file name to be displayed:

echo dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);

This will print: /test/admin

If you want to omit the ‘admin’ directory as well then you can use dirname() function two times:

echo dirname(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']));

This will print: /test

Finally:

echo “http://”.dirname($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].”".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);

This will print: http://localhost/test/admin

Enjoy PHPing :)
