php if condition: check if the page href is identical

What is the if condition for php to check if the page the user is viewing is identical as URL?

For example, here is a default URL: "example.com/my_name"

If the user is viewing "example.com/my_name", then the condition is met.

However, if the user is viewing "example.com/my_name&first_name" then the condition is not met.

(I am not sure if I am explaining it right :P)

Thanks!

My solution is to use the SERVER variables, i.e.:

$currentLocation = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$base = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']."/my_name";


if($currentLocation != $base){
    echo "LOCATION DENIED";
}else{
    echo "LOCATION OK";
}

The above code compares the base location with the current user location;

'SERVER_NAME'

The name of the server host under which the current script is executing. If the script is running on a virtual host, this will be the value defined for that virtual host.

'REQUEST_URI'

The URI which was given in order to access this page; for instance, '/index.html'.
