get current page url and change action

Question

I need to give current page url and change action url. After that I want echo that in view file. I want do these in view file, not controller!

Do you have any idea?

Answer 1

You can get current page url as follows:

  $uri = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRequest()->getRequestUri();

  // or using userAgent view helper:
  $uri = $this->userAgent()->getServerValue('request_uri');

The view helper $this->userAgent() returns an instance of Zend_Http_UserAgent that can provide you with many useful info.

If you want to get an action in your views you can get it as follows:

Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRequest()->getActionName();

Not sure what you mean by 'changing an action'. You want to change it when you echo it, or you want to redirect user. Anyway, hope this will help.

Answer 2

If your current scope is a controller action, you can do this:

$uri = $this->view->serverUrl() . $this->view->url();
