Try this a different way....

I think the easiest way to explain this is from an example.

Page B contains a function.

Page A includes page B so that it can use the function.

I wanted to use $PHP_SELF in the function in B but it returns an error saying it is undefined. Is there a way for Page B to know what page is including it?

Thanks

If page B is included in Page A then Page B can use all the variables set it Page A.

So... set a variable in page A that can thell Page B that it is Page A. For example...

$incPage = "Page A";

Then page B can read the variable to determine which page included it.

Hope this is some use.

actually i just figured it out... if i use the globals array it works out nicely... i dont know why but $GLOBALS["PHP_SELF"] works but $PHP_SELF doesn't.

Because $GLOBALS is a "special" global variable. If you want to use just a normal global variable, like $PHP_SELF, in a function, then you have to declare it global:

function func() {
global $PHP_SELF;
print $PHP_SELF; // this works
}
