current_path

Return the current URL path of the page being viewed.

Examples:

• http://example.com/node/306 returns "node/306".
• http://example.com/drupalfolder/node/306 returns "node/306" while base_path() returns "/drupalfolder/".
• http://example.com/path/alias (which is a path alias for node/306) returns "node/306" as opposed to the path alias.

This function is not available in hook_boot() so use $_GET['q'] instead. However, be careful when doing that because in the case of Example #3 $_GET['q'] will contain "path/alias". If "node/306" is needed, calling drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL) makes this function available.

Return value

The current Drupal URL path.
