Re: Why do i get this Notice Message?

even on old versions of PHP, he can then just use: $GLOBALS['PHP_SELF'] w/o worrying about the Global keyword!

Why? Because $PHP_SELF is an undefined variable. There is nothing assigned to it and you're trying to use it in a function. But, you say, $PHP_SELF is supposed to be the current page. Yes, normally it would with register_globals ON, but you are inside of a function, so it is a whole new variable now. So, like someone else suggested, make it global inside your function Global $PHP_SELF; Or, if you're on a new version, just use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] and you don't have to worry about global. ---John Holmes...
