title: Get the full URL in PHP
body: <p>I use this code to get the full URL:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$actual_link = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is that I use some masks in my <code>.htaccess</code>, so what we see in the URL is not always the real path of the file.</p>
  
  <p>What I need is to get the URL, what is written in the URL, nothing more and nothing less—the full URL.</p>
  
  <p>I need to get how it appears in the Navigation Bar in the web browser, and not the real path of the file on the server.</p>
