Get file name if it's not part of url

Question

url:

localhost/story/

current file is index.php
Is there a way to get file name (index.php) in php, if it's not part of url.

basename(__FILE__) doesn't work because result is contact.php probably because contact.php is included at the beginning of index.php.

You can look into `$_SERVER` or use the `__FILE__` constant, if I understand Your question correctly. — Roman Hocke, Oct 31 '16 at 09:26

__FILE__ will get current filename

echo basename(__FILE__);

The basename() function returns the filename from a path.

@bonaca did you test it? I don't think what you claim is true – eis Oct 31 '16 at 09:41
Tested. In this case result is `contact.php` probably because `contact.php` is included at the beginning of `index.php`. – qadenza Oct 31 '16 at 09:46

@madankundu answer is ok, but you shouldn't access request variables directly. Better is:

echo basename(filter_input(INPUT_SERVER, 'PHP_SELF'));
