RE: [PHP] $PHP_SELF no longer working

I tried your suggestions and changed the form action statement to: <form action = "<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method ="post" and the results were exactly the same as before - 404 url not found (with the same wrong url). phpinfo revealed the following: it is PHP version 4.3.1, build date Feb, 21, 2003, register_globals is on. I don't know what version they were using before and when/if they changed it, but the site has been working with no problems since before Feb -- until yesterday. Any more suggestions? Thanks, Jo Ann Comito

If you upgraded to 4.3.1, go into your php.ini file and turn register_globals = on, otherwise for $PHP_SELF, use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']. If you want to see if they did do any work or not, put an info.php file up there with: <? echo phpinfo(); ?> in it... that will tell you what version they're running and the settings. I bet they upgraded and didn't tell you. -Dan Joseph -----Original Message----- From: Jo Ann Comito [mailto:jacomito@sprintmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 16, 2003 4:54 PM To: PHP List Subject: [PHP] $PHP_SELF no longer working All of a sudden, code that had been working just fine for months stopped working. I called the host provider to see if they had made any changes at their end and they said, "No." All the pages (page1.php, page2.php, etc.) within one directory (protected) are password protected. The first line of each page in this directory is: <?php include("accesscontrol.php"); ?> The accesscontrol.php file is in the same directory as the protected pages. It checks to see if the user is already logged in. If not logged in it displays a form asking for user id and password. The form action is as follows: <form action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>" method="post" Up until today, after submitting the form with a password and user id, the accesscontrol.php page would evaluate the submitted password and id, and if correct, the original page would be displayed. Today, after submitting the form I get a 404 URL not found. The URL listed is as follows: /protected/h/protected/page1.php The problem is with the extra /protected/h/protected. I don't know where that is coming from. It never happened before today. Any ideas? Thanks, Jo Ann Comito
