In my old server running Apache 1.3 and PHP 4 this code will return just the URI as expected:





$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] = "/some-html-file.html"





In my new server with Apache 2 & PHP 4 this code returns the domain:


$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] = "/full-domain-name.com/some-html-file.html"





Does anyone know a way to change things so the code will not return the
domain name and whether this is because of PHP or Apache that I'm
suddenly getting the full domain name?

Windows, linux, Sun, etc...

Which version of PHP and Apache (old and new) exactly?

Sounds to me like the new system is running with a DNS redirect.

A friend of mine a month ago or so, had a similar setup.

He was using a DNS redirect to hit the correct page on a IIS server.

Poor mans way of doing virtual hosting.

Am I anywhere close?

basename() will assist you in getting the last part of the
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] path.. seems like that's what you're after.

http://php.net/basename
