in php, How to detect the server where you work

I am currently working locally on a project that, once I finish my tasks, I have to upload the changes to a server (which is in the cloud).

The problem is that there are certain addresses that I pointed directly and when uploaded to the server, I have need to change then manually, for example:

Locally http://localhost/project/user/test1

to

In the cloud http://ourserver/projectXYZ/user/test1

Is there any way in php, to know the address of the server where you are and, with this, put these dynamic addresses?

It's best to use URIs that are relative to the document root, without the host part, e.g. /projectXYZ/user/test1. That said, sometimes you need to know the hostname (e.g. if you ever do a 30x redirect, RFC 2616 requires the Location: header to absolute URI). In cases like this, your best bet is to check $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], which has the "contents of the Host: header from the current request, if there is one", to quote PHP manual. I wouldn't worry too much about the "if there is one" part; since Host: header is mandatory in HTTP, it missing would be an extremely rare edge case.
