PHP Command/Code to work out where its being accessed/run from?

[Mark]

Hi,

Is there a simple way to work out where the code is being run from?

For example, you goto [url]www.mydomain5.co.uk[/url], when the index.php is run, it
knows you are accessing [url]www.mydomain5.co.uk[/url] and stores the information
accordingly, so that you could do :-


$hostdomain = $_getmydomain (obviously this isnt the correct command name)
echo"Thanks for visiting ".$hostdomain."<br>";


for example?


Thanks, Mark

Create a page with

<? phpinfo() ?>

and you'll see the variables available to your scripts.

As stated in the other post, see phpinfo().

However, you should also remember that you shouldn't do anything to rely to
heavily on this information. It can be spoofed quite easily at most sites.
Simply adding a proper intery in the hosts file in Windows, for instance,
will allow me to access just about any site I want using any domain name I
want. Navigation within that site may or may not continue to use my spoofed
domain name depending upon how the site was constructed.
