[Resolved] help with server variables

kpm547

I've read all the posts on this topic. I'm trying to get the PHP_SELF to work. I have turned off register_global settings in my php.ini file.

This is the code I am using, but nothing is displayed when the page is accessed. What am I doing wrong?

<?php

ECHO $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

</body>
</html>

I tried this ECHO $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["PHP_SELF"]; and it works, but i thought that $_SESSION would work also. This is what was displayed when it works /php/php.exe/selftest.php

I appreciate any help you can give me. I'm running Apache 1.3.14 and php 4.0.5

If you are using a version of PHP before 4.1.0, $ vars are not available.
You'll have to use $HTTP_VARS
like you $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF']

A disadvantage here is that they do not have an autoglobal scope, unlike $_SERVER

You will have to declare them global within functions that you use, e.g.

function myfunc() {
global $HTTP_SERVER_VARS;
//other code
}
