Torben,
I just got this message now (where you explained a better way to do
it). I got a lot of feedback on this, and I feel even worse than before
for not realizing that I was trying to display the value of an array
element without specifying its key! and then this gem up top here got
me thinking I could shortcut the "array_slice($current_page_name, -1,
1)" to get the last element.
The substr trick works too, but I'm glad i was able to do it my way too.
here is the final function:
# ===============================================================
# get_current_page_name()
# ---------------------------------------------------------------
# Returns the current document
# Arguments
# -----------
# no arguments
# ===============================================================
function get_current_page_name()
{
$current_page = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$current_page_name = explode("/", $current_page);
$pagename = array_slice($current_page_name, -1, 1);
return $pagename[0];
}
