magento display request url

Question

i wanted to display the module,controller,method being called

i thought that the cms module found in the

app\code\core\Mage\cms\

calls the IndexController.php and uses the IndexAction method .since it is the default page url.

but when I tried to echo out something inside the IndexAction method .nothing comes out. I even tried to call it manually and it still redirects to the home page.

localhost/magento/index.php/cms/index/index/

am i doing it right? how can i display the request url being called in magento?

Solution 1

I was looking for this also, here's how to do it:

echo Mage::helper('core/url')->getCurrentUrl();

Hi you could try to output the following

<?php
    echo Mage::app()->getRequest()->getModuleName();
    echo Mage::app()->getRequest()->getControllerName();
    echo Mage::app()->getRequest()->getActionName();
?>

Not tested but maybe you can do something like this

<?php
    echo Mage::app()->getRequest()->getRequestUri();
?>

Hope this helps

greetings

I needed the URL segments, so I used this:

function getUrlSegment($i) {
    $_baseUrl = Mage::getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_WEB);
    $_currentUrl = Mage::helper('core/url')->getCurrentUrl();
    $_path = str_replace($_baseUrl, '', $_currentUrl);
    $_segments = explode('/', rtrim($_path, '/'));
    return $_segments[$i];
}

// Would get 'store' if URL: http://example.com/store/product/123
$root = getUrlSegment(1);
