Magento get current url with and without parameters

$currentUrl = $this->helper('core/url')->getCurrentUrl();

//Gives: http://loca.lho.st/review/product/list/id/27/name/sony

$params = $this->getRequest()->getParams(); //all the parameters

//Gives: Array ( [id] => 27 [name] => sony )

$param = $this->getRequest()->getParam('name'); //parameter "name"

//Gives: sony

$request = $this->getRequest();

$urlWithoutParameters = $this->getBaseUrl() . $request->getRouteName() .DS. $request->getControllerName() .DS. $request->getActionName();

//Gives: http://loca.lho.st/review/product/list

  $currentUrl = Mage::helper(‘core/url’)->getCurrentUrl()
  or

  $currentUrl = Mage::getUrl(‘*/*/*’, array(‘_current’ => true));
  above code may not work always as expected. Better way to find the current url is to use the following code:

  if (!in_array(Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getAction()->getFullActionName(), array(‘cms_index_noRoute’, ‘cms_index_defaultNoRoute’))) {
  $currentUrl = Mage::helper(‘core/url’)->getCurrentUrl();
  }

  Hi Kalpesh,
  I had a question regarding passing a variable to the Forgot password page. From the Login page, we have a link which takes you to the forgot password page. The user might enter his email address in the Login page and then click on Forgot password link and go to the new page. What I am trying to do is get the email address that was entered on the login page to be displayed on the Forgot password page. I tried checking incase it is coming by the Post method, but that did not work.
  getRequest()->getPost();
  if (isset($postData[‘login[username]’])) {
  echo $postData[‘login[username]’];
  }

  ?>

  The URL looks like: http://127.0.0.1/bcs/index.php/customer/account/forgotpassword/
  So nothing in the GET method.
  Any idea how I could retrieve the email address?

  Thanks,
  Neet
