$php_self

[Arc]

Ihave a form where the user can select Year, Month, DAY, and a submit button that then does a qeury and displays the data from the database on the same page.

My problem is how do i get the data to display on the same page?
I put $PHP_SELF as the form action but when i press the button i get a page not found error.

Any ideas or good examples?

Thanks!😃

$PHP_SELF is valid provided you use it properly, please post the code.

but make sure that $PHP_SELF is included in PHP code, and not just HTML, and secondly that you have "global $PHP_SELF;" in your function, if that's where you're using it. Maybe you're smarter than me, but that's what I always do...

Yah i wasnt using the <?php ?> tags around it thanks.

note that from php 4.2.2 on, $PHP_SELF is by default replaced by $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].

(thus, I usually include in my scripts something like this:

if($PHP_SELF == '')
  $PHP_SELF = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

)

it's worth a try ...
