How to get current page URL in Drupal?

Question

I'm trying to output the current page URL on a Drupal site (Drupal 7), I've tried the following...

<?php print current_path(); ?>

Which outputs the page name but not the URL, any ideas on how to output the full URL too?

In straight PHP you can use this:

$curPathName = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"];
$currentURL = $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"];

I don't see why that wouldn't work. That will give you the path and the URL.

I've opted for which seems to work. Thanks anyway. – steffcarrington Dec 23 '15 at 15:42
Well, you could accept the answer then, since that is what I suggested. :) – durbnpoisn Dec 23 '15 at 16:01

You can use

<?php 
    global $base_url;
    print $base_url . '/' . current_path(); 
?>

If you want to keep things done "the drupal way", you can use current_path() or request_path().

You can also use $base_url instead of relying on $_SERVER.

The solution durbpoisn gave will give you the URL in the browser. If that is an alias, you can use drupal_get_normal_path() to get the internal path

in drupal9

$current_path = \Drupal::service('path.current')->getPath();
$path_alias = \Drupal::service('path_alias.manager')->getAliasByPath($current_path);

On D7 if you want to get the current path you can use:

$path = drupal_get_path_alias();

So if your current URL is:

You will get:

'hello/world'
