Exteranl Form Action VS $SELF Action

[__NEW__]

Hi,
For send form data what's better. ( Fast, optimize, Secure ... )

Send With External : this form send data to test.php and show result's.

//php code
<form id="myForm" name="form" action="test.php" method="post"> 
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" size="30" value=""/>
<INPUT id="alert_button" type=submit value="submit" name="submit" ></form>
//php code

Send with $self :

// Example ....
if ( 'POST' == $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] ){
$email = $_POST['email'];
if ($email == "[e-mail]") {
	 echo "1";
}
else {echo "2";}
}

<form id="myForm" name="form" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"> 
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" size="30" value=""/>
<INPUT id="alert_button" type=submit value="submit" name="submit" ></form>

//PHP Code

Thanks

using a predefined value rather than a variable is a few nano seconds faster for execution but slower if you have to update the site. There is a minor security issue issues for PHP_SELF. Like everything the answer is "it depends"

So, The first item in the same situation is better and more appropriate !

<form id="myForm" name="form" action="test.php" method="post"> 
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" size="30" value=""/> 
<INPUT id="alert_button" type=submit value="submit" name="submit" ></form> 

For faster This i load this with ajax/jquery without refreshing page.

i never said that, and by saying nano seconds I was pointing out how meaningless the speed increase actully was.
