| Guys
I'm trying to write a function that will return that name of the page that
you are currently viewing (and ultimately save this to a file)
I want to then include this into a file that is included across the entirety
of my site. The idea behind this is so that I can monitor which are the
most popular pages on my site.
** I do not use a DB **
I've found the PHP_SELF constant but this permanently returns (blank) when I
display the contents of this onto the form
Am I looking at the wrong info ?
Ultimately can this be done ?
In anticipation
Steve

| You can get the current file with the __FILE__ constant.
If you're interested in an online service, Google Analytics is a
powerful, free web statistics application that's easy to integrate into
your site. More info here:

There's gonna have to be a DB in there somewhere. Out of curiousity,
why don't you use a DB?
Also, if you're looking to track page visits - believe me, you don't
want to do this by hand, like you're suggesting. Another member
mentioned Google Analytics. Also, Mint (http://www.haveamint.com/) is
good too.

If you're looking for a *constant* named PHP_SELF, then you might be
barking up the wrong tree (since it's not a predefined constant).
If that's the case, try instead with $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"], or even the
constant __FILE__.
