$PHP_SELF - submitting action to the same file

Anon

form name = frm1
file name = test.html, test.php

on submitting the form, the action should call the same file. i tried it with $PHP_SELF but it doesn't work. I am using php3. Is this function only supports php4??

action="<?php print $PHP_SELF; ?>"

This is the code i wrote in action

http://xxx/xxx/<?php%20print%20$PHP_SELF;%20?>

After submitting the form, i get result as above. I use post method.

in my case, I have no problem.
I recommend to write like following statement,

<?echo("$PHP_SELF")?>

I hope your work have a good result.
bye.

using PHP4, i have found that $PHP_SELF doesnt work if called inside a function.
e.g

function test () {
echo $PHP_SELF;
}

above wont give the current file name, so i tried using a global variable, which is declared as $PHP_SELF outside the function.
e.g.

GLOBAL $action_self;
$action_self = $PHP_SELF;

function test () {
GLOBAL $action_self;

echo $action_self;
}

and above worked.

That works, but another way is to just declare $PHP_SELF itself to be global. I happen to like this better because it means you aren't creating Yet Another Variable Name; instead, when I use it in the function I get to use $PHP_SELF, which everybody already knows what it means. :-)

two other ways around it;
1;

function test($d) {
do something with $d;
}

test($PHP_SELF);

function test() {
do something with $GLOBALS['PHP_SELF'];
}

We ran into the same problem..PHP_SELF not working in a function. To resolve it, we just passed the $PHP_SELF variable to the funtion.

function test($d,$PHP_SELF){
do something with $d
do something with $PHP_SELF
}
