Interrogate the URL

[v0xb0x]

I have a plug-in that I am hooking from global_start.

I want to call the current URL into the plug-in so that I can parse it and then run an if/then or case on it. I then want to consume the output of the plug-in in the 'header' template. I have a custom nav I am trying to populate based on the URL.

Can anyone tell me if vbulletin has a variable available that possesses the current URL in it that we can expose in global_start for these purposes?

Appreciate any help in advance.

Thanks.

I'm a little closer to this.

Inside of /includes/class_core.php I found this class:

vB_Registry

The api documentation explains that this class exposes a variable called $script.

This string is "The URL of the current page, without anything after the '?'" which is exactly what I'm after.

Now, how do I get access to that variable ($script) in a plug-in that I am hooking from global_start.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank You!

Why don't use PHP's pre-defined variables - such as the $_SERVER array?

Practical example

$counter_aux=preg_match  (  '/subdomain\.domainame\.com/' , $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
if($counter_aux<>0){
     [whatever you want to do]
}

Make sure case is not "counted".

PHP Code:

if (preg_match('/^sub\.url\.com/i', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']))
{
    echo 'Match!';
}
