How to get current URL on phtml files
Simple tip where you will get the code to “extract” current Magento url from a template file.
Here is the code.
You can use it on any phtml file.
$this->helper('core/url')->getCurrentUrl()
Behind the scenes, this calls a helper method and retrieves the current url.
You can also use this on any file by changing it to this code:
Mage::helper('core/url')->getCurrentUrl()
