How can I add GET variables to end of the current url in php?

I am tryi开发者_StackOverflowng to add a few different GET variables to the url.

I could easily do a header redirect to the current page url and then just add the $_GET['test'] in the url.

My problem is that I have some GET variables that are in the url already. What I want to do is:

• Check if there are any GET variables in the url

  • If there is not, then redirect to the current url with the new GET['test'] variable at the end of the url.

  • If there is, but there is no GET['test'] variable in the url, then keep those other GET values in the url and add the GET['test'] variable to end of the full url string

  • If there is, AND there is a GET['test'] variable in the url, then keep those other GET values in the url and exchange the GET['test'] variable value with the new value.

How can I go about checking for all these conditions?

The simple way to it is:

$params           = array_merge( $_GET, array( 'test' => 'testvalue' ) );
$new_query_string = http_build_query( $params );

This doesn't guarantee that test will be at the end. If for some odd reason you need that, you can just do:

$params = $_GET;
unset( $params['test'] );
$params['test']   = 'testvalue';
$new_query_string = http_build_query( $params );

Note, however, that PHP query string parameter parsing may have some interoperability problems with other applications. In particular, PHP doesn't accept multiple values for any parameter unless it has an array-like name.

Then you can just forward to

( empty( $_SERVER['HTTPS'] ) ? 'http://' : 'https://' ) .
( empty( $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] ) ? $defaultHost : $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] ) .
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] . '?' . $new_query_string

I created this simple PHP function based on Artefacto's Answer.

function addOrUpdateUrlParam($name, $value)
{
    $params = $_GET;
    unset($params[$name]);
    $params[$name] = $value;
    return basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']).'?'.http_build_query($params);
}

• It updates the value if you are changing a existing parameter.
• Adds up if it is a new value

function request_URI() {

    if(!isset($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) {
        $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
        if($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) {
            $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] .= '?' . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
        }
    }
    return $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
}

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = request_URI();

This will give you the URL with respect to the root along with GET parameters.

In case you want it with respect to current directory, add the following.

$current_url = explode("/", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

$current_url = $current_url[end(array_keys($current_url))];

It may just be Joomla reasons, but I get the same value by using:

$currenturl = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ;

a lot less code.

..

$newval = 'whatever';
if( !count($_GET) ) {
 header('Location: ?test=' . $newval);
 exit;
}
if(!isset($_GET['test'])) {
 $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] .= '&test='.$newval;
}
$_GET['test'] = $newval;

I wrote this because unlike the other solution it doesn't expose the hidden GET parameters from htaccess rewrites. It doesn't update the existing param though.

 function addUrlParam($name, $value)
{
  $url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
  $val =  $name . '=' . urlencode($value);
  if (strpos($url, '?') !== false) {
    $url .= '&' . $val;
  } else {
    $url .= '?' . $val;
  }
  return $url;
}

Here is the simplest way to do it

function buildUrl($name, $value)
 {
    $_GET[$name] = $value;
    return $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] . '?' . http_build_query($_GET);
 }

It will append the new query parameter to the URL or updates its value if it already exist
