How do I get the current location of an iframe?

Hi i want to get the complete URL, and with the methods i know i get the full url but of the iframe, and i want the 'final' document.location.href,

how can i get it?

i don't care if its php or js, but i'm guessing by my experiments that with PHp it's not possible...

Considering PHP is serverside and you're asking a clientside question, not so much. Do you want to know what the full URL is of the iFrame? — jcolebrand, Feb 05 '11 at 01:43

If you want to know where you currently are:

Client side - javascript - you can use alert(window.location).
Server side - php - .$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] or $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] depending on what you want.

Take a look at the top answer from this question.

It's important to note that it's (luckily!) not possible to get the URL of an iframe if the iframe's URL is from a different domain than the parent page. If you're trying to do that, you're probably out of luck.
