<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?> ... will echo something like... food/italy/pizza/margherita.php If you need just margherita.php, then you can explode() the string on '/', and take the last element: <? $pathBits = explode('/',$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); echo $file = $pathBits[count($pathBits)-1]; ?> To look for other useful vars, try <pre><? print_r($_SERVER); ?></pre> Justin French
