PHP Self + Variables??

[Shawazi]

I use completely dynamic pages so the links have page.php?variable=value. I have a form on my page that when it is hit, a variable is set. The action is set to $PHP_Self. This makes the page refresh with the new variable and value. This removes any variables and values that were just in the URL though. The form is in every page through an include so I can't just set the action to $PHP_SELF?specificvariabeforpage=whatever. Please help ASAP

Can you post some code? I'm not sure what you are trying to do.

From what I read, it makes me think you are looking for something like this:

Add a hidden field called "action" with a value. Then use a switch statement.

<input type="hidden" name="action" value="add">

To process:
switch($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']) {
    case "add":
        // Code
    break;
}

you might consider using a session variable 🙂

you could also append $SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] to the action of the form after $SERVER['PHP_SELF']

Or...

$pageVars = current($_SERVER['argv']);
$currentURL = $PHP_SELF."?".$pageVars;
