PHP_SELF why not work?

[Anon]

Hi,

I've writing a small upload script and in the form i'm using the action="$PHP_SELF"

this caused warning: undefined variable php_self in file at line x to show up so i've tried moving the form out of my php and using action="<?PHP echo $PHP_SELF ?>"

this just puts nothing there so i end up with source of action=""

heres the full code:
<?PHP

if(isset($userfile))
upload_file();

function upload_file(){
// In PHP 4.1.0 or later, $_FILES should be used instead of $HTTP_POST_FILES.
if (is_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile'])) {
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], "./place/to/put/uploaded/file");
} else {
die("ERROR: upload of".$HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name']." Failed.");
}
/ ...or... /
//move_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile'], "/place/to/put/uploaded/file");
}

?>

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="<?PHP echo $PHP_SELF?>">
Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file">
<input type="submit" value="Send File">
</form>

help please?

From the PHP manual:
"If PHP is running as a command-line processor, this variable is not available"
Maybe this could be your actual problem? try installing PHP as an apache module.
