$PHP_SELF and Netscape

[Anon]

Hi,
I am having problems with a form which calls $PHP_SELF to recall he page
this works fine in IE but I am having problems in netscape it redirects to the docroot here is my code:
<?php
echo"<form method=\"post\" action=\"$PHP_SELF\">
<input type=\"image\" src=\"images/printoff.jpg\" width=\"120\" height=\"25\" alt=\"Print\" border=\"0\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"print\" value=\"1\">
</form>";
?>

I cannot seem to see the problem any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Mac

Mac,

Is this form being called within a function or class? If so, you need to either declare $PHP_SELF global (bad) or pass it in as an argument (good). Otherwise, try changing:

action=\"$PHP_SELF\"

to

action=\"" . $PHP_SELF . "\"

Although PHP supports variable interpolation, I find writing in this manner often avoids problems like this. It also makes it much easier to find your variables if you're using a syntax-highlighting enabled test-editor🙂 HTH.
