#15690 [Com]: $PHP_SELF empty

ID: 15690 Comment by: wolfgang@umsu.de Reported By: beat-x@gmx.net Status: No Feedback Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: I'm experiencing the same problem since I updated to 4.2.3 (CGI version, Xitami, win98). register_globals is on. (When I turn it off, $PHP_SELF is not even listed in phpinfo(), when I turn it on, it is listed but empty.) thanks to cseiler@cyberspace.org for the workaround: It works.

It means that I'm used to it, but I had always a persistent internet connection. I use Apache 1.3.24 with PHP 4.2.0 and still the same problem Windows 98 and windows 2000 Charlie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-18 06:42:33] marcel.lorette@freeworld.be I have the same problem. I use PHP 4.1.2 with Xitami 2.4d9 on windows ME. If I use apache 1.3.23 instead of Xitami, everything is all right... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-24 08:53:02] cseiler@cyberspace.org I've got a workaround for this problem, that seems to work perfectly: 1. Create a file somewhere, e.g. c:\self_fix.php 2. Insert to following content: <?php $PHP_SELF = ereg_replace("/$","",$SERVER_URL).$SCRIPT_NAME; ?> (This will create a 'new' variable $PHP_SELF by pasting $SERVER_URL and $SCRIPT_NAME together) 3. Close and save the file. Now open your php.ini (probabely located in your C:\Windows-directoy). 4. Add the following lines to the [php] section: auto_prepend_file = c:\self_fix.php register_globals = on (These will prepend the file created above to every PHP-file called by the interpreter. The second line makes $PHP_SELF globally available.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
