Send URL through form?

I'm working on a custom form and I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to send the url of the page the form is on through the form. Ok, maybe that's a little confusing...

Here's the output I'm trying to acheive.

I've googled the heck out of every combination of url, php, and form that I can come up with. Anybody know how to send the referring url through a form?

I know I can just use....
<input type="hidden" name="referral site" value="http://oneofmysites.com/">


...but I'm looking for a php function that will send the url. That way, no matter how many sites it's used on, all you have to do is upload it. No eding of the url.

It never ceases to amaze me how often my questions get absolutely no reply. Are they that difficult, or am I just that disliked?

Actually, we all hate you.

Is the form part of a Smarty template? Or is it created by "echo" statements in PHP?

Depending on the above, you might try:

value="{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}"


To figure out which variables to use, you can run the script
() ?>
and look at the PHP Variables section of the output.

Thank you Dave_L!

Actually, the form, as of the moment, is just a plain 'ol HTML form. I plan to use it with XOOPS and Non-Xoops sites, so I didn't want to use Smarty-specific code. I need it to be flexible.

I'll try your suggestion and see what happens.

Thanks again!

Nope, that didn't work. Here's the code to the form.

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="xxx@xxx.com">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="[b][color=990000]need domain url generated here[/color][/b]">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="xx.xx">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but23.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
form>


I'm trying to create a parking/purchase template that can be used either with, or without Xoops. That's why I need the url inserted via php or javascript. This would be useful for hosting companies, domain registrars, and domain resellers.

But how is it generated? Is it in an .html file? If you want to use PHP in it, it would need to be in a .php file so that it will be parsed as PHP.

In that case, you could use:
value='echo "{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}" ?>'

BINGO! That did it! The only other question I have is... How do I remove the file name from the end of the url? i.e.: /index.php

Thank you!

EDIT: Nevermind... Figured it out... REQUEST_URI
