Getting current url with $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]

Hi

I have a custome CMS widget where I retrieve the current url with:

PHP Code:

$currenturl = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
echo $currenturl 


In the CMS it works fine and returns urls like /articles/mybluecar.html

but when I use this code on FORUM section $currenturl returns:
showthread.php?post=123

How can I retrieve the SEO friendly url in the forum section? is this not ok:

PHP Code:

$currenturl = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; 


?

please help.
thanks

Hello,

please try using this instead: $_SERVER['VBSEO_URI']

How does this code work? Can you put it straight into a template or does something special need to be done? I tried putting it in my header template but it just outputs $_SERVER['VBSEO_URI'] and not the URL.

Thanks,

Adam

Hello Adam,

That PHP code just works within custom php scripts, plugins or areas that allows direct php injection.
