PHP SELF in netscape

[Anon]

I have a php script which when you enter data and press the send button, it calls itself to get those variables into the script. This works fine in IE. But in Netscape, it doesn't...it gives me a 403 Permission Denied error. So I was messing around, and created an index.html file in the dir that my php script is in....well, guess what? the 403 error in netscape goes away...for some reason, it seems to load the index.html file INSTEAD of the script itself. Does this make any sense?

here is the code for the form...dunno if this is what is causing the problem or not.

                    echo "<TR><TD><font size =\"-1\" face=\"arial, helvetica\">Upload file:</font></td><td>";
                    echo "<FORM ENCTYPE=\"multipart/form-data\" METHOD=\"POST\" ACTION=\"$PHP_SELF\">";
                    echo "<INPUT NAME=\"userfile\" TYPE=\"file\" size=\"40\">";
                    echo "<INPUT TYPE=\"SUBMIT\" NAME=\"upload\" VALUE=\"Upload!\"></TD></TR>";
                    echo "</FORM>";
           ############### change title form
                    echo "<TR><TD><font size =\"-1\" face=\"arial, helvetica\">Change Title:</font></td><td>";
                    echo "<FORM ACTION=\"$PHP_SELF\" METHOD=\"POST\">";
                    echo "<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=titlename SIZE=50>";
                    echo "<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME=\"SUBMIT\" VALUE=\"Change Title\" METHOD=\"POST\">";
                    echo "</FORM>";

nevermind, the upload and change title seem to work in netscape. It's when i want to rename the file that i get the error. Here is some of my code for that..

case "rename":
// The user has confirmed renaming
if($confirm && $newfile)
{
// The dest. file exists
if(file_exists($newfile))
{
$lastaction = "";
}

                            else
                                    {
                                    rename($file,$newfile);

                                    }

                    html_header();
                    displaydir();
                    echo $html_ender;
                    }

okay, so i think this might be my problem

$filename=$file;
$fileurl=rawurlencode($file);

i think the rawurlencode might be giving me problems in netscape.........?

if you have a permission problem with renaming a file. CHMOD the directory or file itself.

no, i don't think that is the problem, because it works FINE in Internet Explorer...it's only in netscape that i get the permission error, so I don't see why chmod would effect that.

Here is a big difference between IE and Netscape :

<a href = ?var=value>

means curr_dir/curr_file.php?var=value in IE
and curr_dir/?var=value in Netscape
