Netscape not displaying $PHP_SELF......

chops

I do not understand why but here is my form tag: <FORM ACTION="<?php echo("$PHP_SELF"); ?>" METHOD="POST">.....

Anon

trying declaring GLOBAL $PHP_SELF first.

As I understand it, $PHP_SELF is the same thing as $SCRIPT_NAME, both of which deliver the script name and the path of the script: (ie. "/development/mydir/testingcode.php").

I guess Netscape just doesn't like that. Try changing your code to read:

<FORM ACTION="<?php echo $SERVER_NAME . $SCRIPT_NAME; ?>" METHOD="POST">

which will display myserver.com/development/mydir/testingcode.php

What does this have to do with Netscape? Are you saying id Does "show up" in IE?

Tag:
<FORM ACTION="<?php echo("$PHP_SELF"); ?>" METHOD="POST">

IE renders:
<FORM ACTION="/index.php" METHOD="POST">

Netscape renders:
<FORM ACTION="" METHOD="POST">

Same code. And this was tested on several machines with different versions of netscape.

Well that's a new one for me. Since the variable conversion is done on the server side it should have nothing to do with the browser. I have seen different browser interpret tags differently, but you should be able to see the same tag in the "view source" of the either browser.

Is ther a URL I can point two browsers at to see this phenomenon?

I'd be interested in seeing this as well. Unless the script did a browser detect and ran different code depending on the browser, this should not happen.

See I wrote the post because I know this is server side and it is not making sense that this would display different in each browser. The code is located at www.magform.com/signup.php. Just view source on IE then in Netscape and you'll see. And the code in the form tag is this: <FORM ACTION="<?php echo("$PHP_SELF"); ?>" METHOD="POST"> .....I will find a way around this so I am not really looking for an answer. I would just like to know WHY?

Well I seem to have over looked that it was not displaying in IE either (but I guess IE would just automatically go to the page it was on). Now the problem is that $PHP_SELF does not display. But only on this one page. All other pages on my site that use $PHP_SELF work and display fine. And the code is exactly the sameon each page.

Could there be a reason why this does not work. And I have tried several ways to display $PHP_SELF:
GLOBAL $PHP_SELF;
echo $PHP_SELF;
echo ("$PHP_SELF");
print ("$PHP_SELF");

I don't really expect an answer but if anyone else has had this problem before I would really like to know how they got around it. Here is a link to the page that's not displaying it: www.magform.com/signup.php an here is a link to the page that works www.magform.com/browse.php

You would have to post the source of the page so we could take a look.

btw, I see the form target just fine in both IE and NS...
