[wp-hackers] Any alternative to $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] for SEO friendly URLs?..

[DD32]

I dont quite get your problem exactly.

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] will contain the page URI when its using pretty
permalinks, And the http path when not
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] will contain the page's Query args when not using
permalinks
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] will contain a unique URL
for every page on every WP install, Is that not what you asked for?

Alternativly, You could use get_permalink() to get the current page/posts/
URI, allthough that might only work later than you're expecting, If all else
fails, you'll need to look at $GLOBALS['wp_query']->query_vars
