Context

Context includes methods used to handle information about the current query: type, parameters and their values .

When initialized, creates context - a HttpContext object that stores information about the query as a container: query parameters, server environment, bitrix environment (language, site id), response to query. This means, that it is a modifiable portion that depends on the current hit.

Queries the following namespace:

\Main;

To get the context of the current hit, execute the following:

$context = Application::getInstance()->getContext();
// Or more brief form:
$context = Context::getCurrent();

Examples:

$request = $context->getRequest(); // Request object
$server = $context->getServer();   // Server object
$siteId = $context->getSite();     // Current site ID ("s1")
$langId = $context->getLanguage(); // Current language ID ("en")
