   hi,
   How can i get the url of current page to be stored in a variable.
   I tried this,

   echo get_permalink($ID);
   and
   the_permalink()
   But that doesn't work with a blog page layout...

   P.S I want the url to be stored in a variable like this.
   http://www.mysite.com/blog

   Try this function, it has worked pretty well for me:

   function current_page_url() {
   	$pageURL = 'http';
   	if( isset($_SERVER["HTTPS"]) ) {
   		if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";}
   	}
   	$pageURL .= "://";
   	if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {
   		$pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
   	} else {
   		$pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
   	}
   	return $pageURL;
   }

   Thanks, David Gwyer,

   it worked great for me :) i added your function to themes/my_theme/functions.php

   and then used in header.php like this:
   <?php echo current_page_url(); ?>
