Every HTTP request is independent by design, so if you do a HTTP redirect (with header("Location: http://xyz.com/index.php") in PHP or RewriteRule ^ /index.php [R] in .htaccess) and the user sees http://xyz.com/index.php in the browser, then the original URL information is lost.

You can manually save it by

  • adding it to the query string: http://xyz.com/index.php?s=s2d3f4;
  • saving it in a session cookie (session_start etc.).

On the other hand, if you are actually doing an internal redirect, so the user still sees http://xyz.com/s2d3f4 in the browser but it's handled by index.php, then

  • $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] will hold the original URL (/s2d3f4);
  • you can also redirect with a query string (e.g., RewriteRule .* index.php?s=$0) and then that information will be available in $_REQUEST['s'].

Did you try PATH_INFO or 'ORIG_PATH_INFO

$HTTP_SERVER_VARS [deprecated] $_SERVER -- $HTTP_SERVER_VARS [deprecated] — Server and execution environment information

Anyway Try it
