$PHP_SELF Problem

raidon

I am trying to assign $PHP_SELF to an element in an array but I keep getting an error that reads:
Notice: Undefined variable: PHP_SELF
And here is the code that I have:

$themeValues["FORM_ACTION"]="$PHP_SELF";

Thanks!

you are definitely using it on APACH web server. This will work on IIS but it didn't work for me on APACHE also.

If you are using PHP 4.2.x, please note that register_globals is off by default. You could change this in the php.ini file, but your better off doing:

$themeValues["FORM_ACTION"]=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

Use the super-globals defined in PHP since 4.1.0.

I've tried to run a User Auth script that called itself if the user wasn't authorised, or redirected if user OK.

The generated <FORM... element used $PHP_SELF to build the action.

With the script generated HTML page, View=>Source showed <FORM ACTION="" etc...>

No error, script didn't bug out, nothing, but $PHP_SELF appeared not to have a value assigned to it.

Server is APACHE, $globals = off, php 4.2.0, phpinfo() returns a value, but not the script?!?

Any clues?

Thnx in advance...

Ok, "read" my last post.

Sorry Patrick - having a bad-hair day and also running on Vampire-time!

Next time, I'll snail-read rather than speed-read!

But thank you for taking the time to reply. I'll buy you a beer if ever you're in this neck of the woods.
