[Resolved] $PHP_SELF problem...I think...

[Petraverse]

Hi,

I've written this line of code

if(!$GLOBALS['activated'] && !ereg("activate.php", $GLOBALS['PHP_SELF']) && !ereg("coppa_activate.php", $GLOBALS['PHP_SELF'])) { $var = 1; } else { $var = 0; }

Now if I take out the && ereg part off the end (so it's just if($GLOBALS['activated']) { ) then it works absolutely fine. But with the two && (AND) to check if it's not activate.php and coppa_activate.php. I want it to only do what's in the if() if it's NOT activate.php or coppa_activate.php. Any ideas?

Thanks
Max

EDIT: I tried it with just $PHP_SELF instaled of $GLOBALS['PHP_SELF'] too. The reason I'm using $GLOBALS is coz it's within a function and wasn't sure if that applies to $PHP_SELF too. With $PHP_SELF or $GLOBALS['PHP_SELF'] gives the same result.

Consider using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] instead. I'd also recommend using strpos() or strstr() instead of ereg(), as either of those would be faster (and wouldn't match something bogus like "activate_php.php").

So I have...

	if(!$GLOBALS['activated'] && !strpos("activate.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) && !strpos("coppa_activate.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {

Now it ALWAYS does the code after if() { even if the page is activate.php or coppa_activate.php...

Any ideas?

Thanks

Got it

	if(!$GLOBALS['activated'] && $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] != "/activate.php" && $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] != "/coppa_activate.php") {
