$PHP_SELF stupid question

[lucki]

i have a form in let's say 'file.php' that uses $php_self action

now after the variables from the form were sent i have another form in the html result that can change certain variables.

to be more specific...

i am making a report with a default date, but after the html is generated by $php_self i want to give the user the ability to generate the same report at a custom date

i put on the second form the same action , $php_self but, naturally, it starts all over from the begining which is not good to me

can anybody pull me out of this

thanx in advance

Flag it...
action="<? echo "$PHP_SELF?id=1">"

then in your html...

<?if($id){?>
do this etc etc etc
<?}else{?>
do that etc etc etc
<?}?>
