I need to get the full URL of the currently opened page. I use the following code, but it returns http://localhost/mysite/page_name. 

$path = isset($_GET['q']) ? $_GET['q'] : '<front>';
$link = url($path, array('absolute' => TRUE));

It's not enough for my code to complete; I want to get the values that are passed with the URL as http://localhost/mysite/page_name/value1=value&value2=value.

How can I do that?

Have you tried using request_uri()?

$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . request_uri();

It should do the trick. I haven't tried it myself, and I may be off a bit, but I suggest you give a try. From JavaScript, you could use the window.location.href variable.

    @abd You're probably looking for $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']

  • I suggest adding protocol to the answer with isset($_SERVER["HTTPS"]) ? 'https' : 'http';

  • request_uri() even works on 404 pages, that's a really good thing.

Here's how to get the absolute URL for the current page, using the Drupal API:

$current_url = url(current_path(), array('absolute' => TRUE));

If you need the extra (non-q) querystring parameters as well, you can use:

$current_url = url(current_path(), array(
  'absolute' => TRUE, 
  'query' => drupal_get_query_parameters(),
));

You can use the following code.

global $base_root;
$current_url = $base_root . request_uri();
echo $current_url;

Try $base_url variable, provides Drupal installation URL without "/" and current_path() it returns path of current page being viewed.

global $base_url;
$current_path = $base_url . '/' . current_path();

The question is pretty old but chiming in for people that might get there for a more recent version of Drupal.

You can get the current full-path for a page with:

$path = \Drupal::service('path.current')->getPath();
$queryParams = \Drupal::request()->query->all();

$path . "?" . http_build_query($queryParams);

Really handy for dynamically changing the value of certain query parameters like a page for example.

I think the best way to do that is using url() API like this

url('your/drupal/path', array('absolute' => TRUE));

  • The question is asking for a generic page, not one for which the path is known.

  • Ok, you can replace your/drupal/path¡with current_path(), as @david-thomas wrote before.
