$PHP_SELF not working

apaxson

Hi all,

I've just set up and compiled Apache 1.3 and PHP 4.2.2 on my RedHat box.

But for some reason, $PHP_SELF is not working right. I can't seem to reference any of my form variables, nor can I see the value of $PHP_SELF. However, when I submit the form, it is definately calling the same page.

http://domain.com/test.php

http://domain.com/test.php?common=blah

However, I can't:
echo $PHP_SELF //No value
and I can't
echo $common //variable in form

Displaying the source code for the page shows that PHP isn't even parsing those variables. Did I compile or code wrong? PHP is working, because I'm effectively using LDAP lookups (as long as I hard-code the searches into my variables)

Did I do something wrong??

Thanks!
Aaron

<?
phpinfo();
?>

run that and see what variables are working.

sometimes php is tricky to install on a redhat box with apache/mysql

whenever i install redhat, i have to install the apache/php/mysql rpms seperately. they dont seem to work unless i install them all at the same time.

rpm -Uvh *.rpm

do that in a directory with php/apache/mysql rpms and cross your fingers =)

good luck.
