I have been trying to get the /forgot_password part from the url https://lucasfrank.devlock/forgot_password?done=1. I created the function below:

function getBaseURI(): string
{
    $basePath = implode('/', array_slice(explode('/', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']), 0, -1)) . '/';
    // Get the current Request URI and remove rewrite base path from it
    // (= allows one to run the router in a sub folder)
    $uri = substr(rawurldecode($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']), strlen($basePath));
    // Don't take query params into account on the URL
    if (str_contains($uri, '?')) {
        $uri = substr($uri, 0, strpos($uri, '?'));
    }
    // Remove trailing slash + enforce a slash at the start
    return '/' . trim($uri, '/');
}

It worked locally but seems to be an issue on a domain hosting. I later came across the $_SERVER['SCRIPT_URL'] global variable that worked as perfect as the function above. I used the global variable and worked fine on the domain, but seems not to be valid locally.

I expected that this works on both ends but seems that is not possible. The global variable seems to be on and off, not sure when it’s accessible or not. I get this error accessing it on localhost:

Warning: Undefined array key “SCRIPT_URL” in C:laragonwwwadmin_dashboardfunctionsfunctions.php on line 13

I had to change to the old function, lost on when to or not to use. I don’t know what my function lacks or what I might be misdoing.
