About the closest you can come is $HTTP_HOST . $REQUEST_URI That'll give you www.example.com/path/to/file.php?arg=val for example, but the http:// or https:// isn't there. To see that, you'd need to check what $SERVER_PROTOCOL was (HTTP/1.0, for example), unless it's safe in your situation to just assume it'll be http. $SERVER_NAME doesn't include the port, so it isn't as reliable as $HTTP_HOST. Additionally, $SCRIPT_NAME doesn't include any get parameters that may have been sent. For a complete listing of all the variables available in your environment, load a page containing <?php phpinfo() ?> and look over the 'Apache Environment' section. Matt
