Is there any way in codeigniter for me to get current URL ?

I need to pass currrent URL to one javascript function, then in my javascript function i’ll redirect the page as following:

function ReloadCurrentUrl(currentUrl)<br /> {<br /> // Set some value into cookie<br /> window . location . href = currentUrl;<br /> }

I don’t think you need codeigniter to get current url, you could just use:

<?= $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ?>

Hi steelaz, cheers ..

It works well in my local machine, but when i upload it to the server, $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] will return me ‘/’ instead of ‘/index.php/controller/function’.. any idea ??

You could echo uri->uri_string.

uri->uri_string will only return me the controller and function ..
for eg:

<a href="http://abc.com/index.php/controller/function?button=edit&d=1&sid=0.19077332919474066">http://abc.com/index.php/controller/function?button=edit&d=1&sid=0.19077332919474066</a>

the call of uri->uri_string will only return me /controller/function .. I need others details behind as well (Yes, i know it’s not a good practice to have a URL like that, but I neeed to use it for certain reason) ..

cheers !!

You could try this

function full_url()
{
   $ci=& get_instance();
   $return = $ci->config->site_url().$ci->uri->uri_string();
   if(count($_GET) > 0)
   {
      $get =  array();
      foreach($_GET as $key => $val)
      {
         $get[] = $key.'='.$val;
      }
      $return .= '?'.implode('&',$get);
   }
   return $return;
}

But i think there are better options.

Cheers, it’s works ..
but i wonder what would be the better option

You can reduce xwero’s code a little more:

$query = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] ? '?'.$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] : '';
echo $this->config->site_url().$this->uri->uri_string(). $query;

if you’re using javascript anyway - couldn’t you just use the current value of [removed]?

function ReloadCurrentUrl()
{
    // Set some value into cookie
    window . location = window . location;
}

or, there is a refresh() method that I haven’t used in a while so I forget the exact syntax:

window.refresh();

something like that. However - I know the first example of setting the location property will work because I’ve done it many times. In javascript, anytime the “location” property of the window object is manipulated, it automatically sets the browser to change (or in your case refresh) the browser.

$base_url=$GLOBALS[‘CFG’]->config[‘base_url’];

I’ve been using javascripts in all of my scripts and they all work.  I just create a folder in the codeigniter root called scripts then call the javscripts using the $base_url variable for example

echo “\n”;

This ads the javascript to my page.

Hope this helps

will current_url() works?

I got similar issue.
I need to use javascript to direct request to a processing step and redirect back to original place.
Could someone guide me how I can get this done?

You could put the current_url into a cookie, redirect, and read the cookie to get back again.

The url helper’s current_url() will work fine - the function didn’t exist when this thread was started.

site_url(uri_string()) will do the job.

site_url(uri_string()) will do the job.

This thread is 3 years old, but current_url() is more to the point.

Yeah, post code is old but I found that actually current_url() doesn’t work properly with rewrite in htaccess, at least with my sites using language URL

so here comes my trick.

$url = base_url().uri_string()
