PHP behaviour IE5.5 vs Netscape vs Opera

[Anon]

I am developing a local PHP application. I was prompted by something I read to use it with Opera as the default browser. I then came across this curiosity.

Can you please explain it?

My main page displays entries in a database with edit, delete, etc options. The link to be produced should look like

http://localhost/sites/aaa/StoredFiles/SiteDevelopment/SiteManager.php?ap=1&plid=1

This works perfectly well when I browse with IE5.5, and sometimes with Netscape 4.7.

But with Opera the links look like

http://localhost/sites/aaa/StoredFiles/SiteDevelopment/?ap=1&plid=1

Somehow, the substitution of $PHP_SELF has not taken place or been systematically removed.

I presume that my PHP works ok in the first instance, but I do not understand why the behaviour is different under Opera.

Windows 98, Apache 1.3 PHP 4.2.1 Opera 6.03 as default browser

All help graefully received

The problem ith Opera and NS (come to think of it) is that you need to define $PHP_SELF as a global variable otherwise it won't interpret it correctly

HTH
global $PHP_SELF;

I wondered about that.

However, I decided that since all that Opera did was transmit data to the server it would not matter so I have not done the experiment. I shall now do that and will post the results.

No, that did not appear to help in either Opera or Netscape.

Anyone have any further thoughts?
