[codeigniter] CodeIgniter -> Get current URL relative to base url

Tried URI::uri_string() but can't get it to work with the base_url.

URL: http://localhost/dropbox/derrek/shopredux/ahahaha/hihihi
Returns: dropbox/derrek/shopredux/ahahaha/hihihi

but http://localhost/dropbox/derrek/shopredux/ just returns an empty string.

I want the first call to return "ahahaha/hihihi" and the second to return "". Is there such a function?

// For current url
echo base_url(uri_string());

In CI v3, you can try:

function partial_uri($start = 0) {
    return join('/',array_slice(get_instance()->uri->segment_array(), $start));
}

This will drop the number of URL segments specified by the $start argument. If your URL is http://localhost/dropbox/derrek/shopredux/ahahaha/hihihi, then:

partial_uri(3);  # returns "ahahaha/hihihi"

Running Latest Code Igniter 3.10

$this->load->helper('uri'); // or you can autoload it in config

print base_url($this->uri->uri_string());

you can use the some Codeigniter functions and some core functions and make combination to achieve your URL with query string. I found solution of this problem.

base_url($this->uri->uri_string()).strrchr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "?");

and if you loaded URL helper so you can also do this current_url().strrchr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "?");

I don't know if there is such a function, but with $this->uri->uri_to_assoc() you get an associative array from the $_GET parameters. With this, and the controller you are in, you know how the URL looks like. In you above URL this would mean you would be in the controller dropbox and the array would be something like this:

array("derrek" => "shopredux", "ahahaha" => "hihihi");

With this you should be able to make such a function on your own.

Try to use "uri" segments like:

$this->uri->segment(5);   //To get 'ahahaha'
$this->uri->segment(6);   //To get 'hihihi

form your first URL...You get '' from second URl also for segment(5),segment(6) also because they are empty.

Every segment function counts starts form localhost as '1' and symultaneous segments

If url helper is loaded, use

current_url();

will be better

 //if you want to get parameter from url use:
 parse_str($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], $_GET);
 //then you can use:
 if(isset($_GET["par"])){
      echo $_GET["par"];
 }
 //if you want to get current page url use:
 $current_url = current_url();

I see that this post is old. But in version CI v3 here is the answer:

echo $this->uri->uri_string();

Thanks

For the parameter or without parameter URLs Use this :

Method 1:

 $currentURL = current_url(); //for simple URL
 $params = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; //for parameters
 $fullURL = $currentURL . '?' . $params; //full URL with parameter

Method 2:

$full_url = (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] === 'on' ? "https" : "http") . "://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";

Method 3:

base_url(uri_string());
