$PHP_SELF problem

[rul]

it gives me a problem

when i use this variable in a root directory, like www.mysite.com/showselfname.php

it gives me "/showselfname.php", right

but when i use it within a directory, like www.mysite.com/directory/showselfname.php

it gives me "/directory/showselfname.php" , but i want it to give me just "/show.php"

why is this happenning?

have you tried $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], that may produce different results for you

Because thats what $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ( you should be using that instead of just $PHP_SELF ) is. It's the path relative to the root of the webserver.

If you want just /filename.php, try this:

$NEW_PHP_SELF = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
while (strstr ($NEW_PHP_SELF, "/")) {

$NEW_PHP_SELF = strstr ($NEW_PHP_SELF, "/");
$NEW_PHP_SELF = substr ($NEW_PHP_SELF, 1);

}
