Get url from which a script was called

Question

I have a page on the url www.example.com/some/info.
This page sends a form to a PHP script.
Is there a way to get this url in the PHP script so that I can redirect to it when the script executes?
I tried $_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST'], but got an undefined index exception.

Edit: I am using Apache's rewrite module so that all the requests are redirected to index.php which then handles resolving them.

I combined the first and second answers here and got pretty good results: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6768793/php-get-the-full-url — NotGaeL, Sep 21 '13 at 10:19

enjoy keep questioning :) – Janak Prajapati Sep 21 '13 at 10:24
No, this is not “exactly what you need”. Please do some research on how unreliable the HTTP referer is (that goes for the answering person as well). – CBroe Sep 21 '13 at 10:51

Try using $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']

by this, you will be able to get your current URL.
