What VB variables are exposed to determine which page I'm currently on?

[HostReach]

Can someone list some PHP variables of VB I can use to determine which page within the forum I'm currently on (ie: frontpage, forum category "test" etc)? For example, what are the variables for:

-Forum/ forum category title
-The type of page (showthread, previewthread etc)
-and so on.

I'm trying to write a simple PHP script that delivers a different text depending on the page it's on. But I need to know which variables in VB I can access to help determine this.

Thanks,

only $scriptpath is found during global.php

then


$filename = strtok($scriptpath, '?');
$pos = strrpos ($filename, '/');
if (!is_string($pos) || $pos) {
$filename = substr($filename, $pos+1);
}

will give you $filename such as showthreads.php etc

Scott's code is from online.php. The what() function in online.php drills down to the user's activity on the page.

Hi:
Works like a charm Scott. Thanks. BTW, if I'm using the code:


$filename = strtok($scriptpath, '?');
$pos = strrpos ($filename, '/');
if (!is_string($pos) || $pos) {
$filename = substr($filename, $pos+1);
}


inside phpinclude template, should I rename "$filename" to avoid conflicting with the code block inside online.php, or does it not matter?

Thanks,

No, its ok, $filename is not a global variable for the function.
