calling a $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] within a template

[bleavitt]

Just to conclude this thread, here's the solution that worked for me. Attilitus was right on with his suggestions above below is the specific solution that worked for me:

In the Plugins Manager under the Plugins/Products menu, I created a new plugin, set the hook to init_startup and then used this line of code:

PHP Code:

$server_varis=array();
$server_varis['request_uri']=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
vB_Template::preRegister('header', $server_varis); 


The confusion was in the name of the template file that I was pre-registering the variable for. 'header' refers to the specific template file within the whole template theme package.

Thanks again for your help, Tim.
