ID: 14288 Updated by: sniper Reported By: se@brainbits.net Old Status: Open Status: Bogus Bug Type: Variables related Operating System: SuSE7.2; Apache 1.3.20; mod_php4 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: RTFM: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php $PHP_SELF only contains filename of the currently executing script, nothing else.

Can you reproduce this behavior under all browsers? What happens when you use a submit button instead of javascript? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-29 14:00:26] se@brainbits.net <?php if($HTTP_GET_VARS["delete"]){ echo "delete"; }else{ echo "don't delete"; } ?> <html> <head> </head> <body> <form action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF;?>" method="POST" name="form1"> <input type="text" name="test"> <a href="javascript:document.form1.submit();">Save</a> </form> <a href="<?php echo $PHP_SELF;?>?delete=true">delete</a> </body> </html> The script above don't work correctly. After clicking "delete" the if-statement print "delete". Then you click on "Save" and the if-statement print "delete" just like you click on "delete". If the "echo $PHP_SELF" in the form-tag will be replaced by the plaintext-name of the script everything will work correctly - you can click on "Save" then and the if-statement gives you a "don't delete". It seems like the $PHP_SELF stores the HTTP_GET_VARS, but if I do a "echo $PHP_SELF" I get the script path, the script name and that's all, there are no HTTP_GET_VARS - but the script still works like the HTTP_GET_VARS are there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14288&edit=1
