REQUEST URI is set by Apache  so you won t get it with IIS   Try doing a var dump or print r on   SERVER and see what values exist there that you can use

Use the following line on the top of the PHP page where you re using   SERVER  REQUEST URI    This will resolve your issue     SERVER  REQUEST URI       SERVER  PHP SELF             SERVER  argv   0

For Apache    http   empty   SERVER  HTTPS        s           SERVER  SERVER NAME     SERVER  REQUEST URI      You can also use HTTP HOST instead of SERVER NAME as Herman commented  See this related question for a full discussion  In short  you are probably OK with using either  Here is the  host  version    http   empty   SERVER  HTTPS        s           SERVER  HTTP HOST     SERVER  REQUEST URI       For the Paranoid   Why it Matters  Typically  I set ServerName in the VirtualHost because I want that to be the canonical form of the website  The   SERVER  HTTP HOST   is set based on the request headers  If the server responds to any all domain names at that IP address  a user could spoof the header  or worse  someone could point a DNS record to your IP address  and then your server   website would be serving out a website with dynamic links built on an incorrect URL  If you use the latter method you should also configure your vhost or set up an  htaccess rule to enforce the domain you want to serve out  something like   RewriteEngine On RewriteCond   HTTP HOST     stackoverflow com    RewriteRule      https   stackoverflow com  1  R 301 L   sometimes u may need to omit this slash   depending on your server   Hope that helps  The real point of this answer was just to provide the first line of code for those people who ended up here when searching for a way to get the complete URL with apache

The posttitle part of the URL is after your index php file  which is a common way of providing friendly URLs without using mod rewrite  The posttitle is actually therefore part of the query string  so you should be able to get it using   SERVER  QUERY STRING

SERVER  REQUEST URI   doesn t work on IIS  but I did find this  http   neosmart net blog 2006 100-apache-compliant-request uri-for-iis-and-windows  which sounds promising

REQUEST URI is set by Apache  so you won t get it with IIS   Try doing a var dump or print r on   SERVER and see what values exist there that you can use
