Get Current File Name

<?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];

I agree. Simply I enclose files with regular dot(s) in the name:

$currentFile = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];
$parts = explode('/', $currentFile);
$parts = $parts[count($parts) - 1];
$name = explode('.', $parts);
unset ($name[count($name) - 1]);
$pageName = implode('.',$name);

better yet:
echo basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '.php');

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’]

A very useful feature that seems totally absent in Javascript.

Potential use:
