I notice that menu_get_item() will tell me if the current user can access the current menu item. Is there a simple method to test if user0 can access the current menu item? That is, regardless who the current user is, I would like to see if there is a function to let me know if user0 can access the current page, essentially a test to see if the current page is available to anonymous users or not.

Thanks again,

$_GET['q'] holds the current, internal system path.

menu_get_item() provides you the currently active menu router item.

menu_get_object() provides you a dynamic argument context from the menu
router item, if any.

Subject: [development] Blocks and page context

Good morning,

I am building a module and invoking hook_block. I am wondering if
there is a way for my block to gain some context about the page on which it
will be rendered. Primarily I would like to know if my block can be aware
of the URL of the page being displayed (not the http-requested URL in case
they differ), and the access permissions of the page being displayed (not
those of the block itself, or of the user accessing the block.

Thanks,

Everett Zufelt
