$PHP_SELF doesnt work for me

[jbn]

I have installed apache 1.3.27 with PHP 4.3.0RC3 and when I use
$PHP_SELF in the code it doesnt work, why?
do I need to use some extra syntax when configuring for this to work or?

Post your code just in case there's a ayntax error.

[jbn]

well I dont have the code now but it doesnt appear when I do this
for example and it sould:
<?php
echo $PHP_SELF;
?>

[Joan Garnet]

ok, in this case you need this -->
echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

But if you want to use it for links, just use this -->

Code: Select all

echo "<a href=".$PHP_SELF."?>click</a>";

Note that there is an interogant '?'. You need it to get right result, just as if you wanted to add HTTP variables.

ok, thanks

this didnt work:

<?
echo "<a href=".$PHP_SELF.">click</a>";
?>

but this worked:

<?
echo "<a href=".$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"].">click</a>";
?>

[Joan Garnet]

ok, thanks

this didnt work:

<?
echo "<a href=".$PHP_SELF.">click</a>";
?>

Yes, I told you in the last post (Look at the note )
You are missing the '?' -->
Look:
echo "<a href=".$PHP_SELF."?>click</a>";

This is the key
bye
