finding location of document

Hi there,

I am trying to figure this out and can't find the right combination to
get what I want in a certain situation.

Suppose I am running a script from an URL like:

http://127.0.0.1/~myname/foo/bar.php

on this page I want to redirect to another page and send a full http
string like:

$redirect = "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . "/foo/hello.php";

In this case, $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] is 127.0.0.1
How can I get the ~/myname/

Thanks
rogue

BTW. Please copy me directly on any replies as I am on the digest.

Have a look on http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php

So long

The complete relative URL requested is avialable to you as:

$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]

Hope that helps.
