Let's say I have the page:
index.php?page=page-title-here
I want to get the current page name including the $_GET variable in the URL. I am currently using this:
basename(__FILE__)
It outputs "index.php", the actual file name. Any idea how to also include the $_GET variable so that it will output "index.php?page=page-title-here"?
The variable $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] gives you the file with GET parameters. Also includes folders in the url.
Edit: Use $page = end(explode('/', $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"])); if you want to get rid of the folders from the url.
Try...
$page = (__FILE__) . '?' . $_GET['page'];
You can do so using the REQUEST_URI:
echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
From the manual:
REQUEST_URI: The URI which was given in order to access this page; for instance
Try $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] (there are lots of interesting things in $_SERVER)

I also suggest that you read a little bit about the MVC pattern and Front Controller:
