Get Current File Name

Last updated on: 

<?php
    $pageName = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
?>

Potential use:

<body id="body_<?php echo $pageName; ?>">

Append ID to body to do different CSS styles on different pages.

    echo $pageName = basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);

    It will give current file name… as index.php or about.php

    But you will have ‘.php’ as id or class. If you want get only name befor the ‘.php’ here is de code:

    // Recuperando o nome do arquivo sem '.php'
  $currentFile = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];
  $parts = Explode('/', $currentFile);
  $parts = $parts[count($parts) - 1];
  $parts = Explode('.', $parts);
  $pageName = $parts[0];

      Yo…Hilco – thanks.

      This rocks for my purposes…dynamically searching a database for stuff that’s only meant to be shown on certain pages.

    echo substr(
  __FILE__
  , strrpos( __FILE__ , '/' )
  , strrpos( __FILE__ , '.' )
);

    You have an error in your code, $_SERVER[PHP_SELF] instead of $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']
