php_self not passing url parameters

[Anon]

When using $PHP_SELF in the action part of a form it only contains the name of the page that is being submitted and doesnt include any parameters that I have set on the end of the URL

For example:
If I supply the following url:
index.php?somenamehere=123456
then $PHP_SELF only contains the /index.php part and not the ?somenamehere=123456. How can I write my scripts so that the extra parameters are submitted as well.

(btw, due to the way ive written my script i cant just put a hidden field in the form which contains the parameters and have that submit them)

Thanks.

Ash.

The querystring is not part of $PHP_SELF. $PHP_SELF is the name of the file being processed.

The information you want is in the $GET[] array (PHP>=4.1) or $HTTP_GET_VARS[]. In the case of the example $GET['somenamehere'] equals '123456'.

Thanks for the quick reply, Ive put the following in the code and now it passes the parameters along with the page name:
<form method="POST" action="<?php echo "$PHP_SELF?$QUERY_STRING"; ?>">

Cheers.

Excellent; though if you're using a form POST you might as well use hidden fields (and the $_POST[] array), to have a prettier URL if nothing else.
