Re: Forms and PHP_SELF

Be careful when using PHP self. Not all servers support it. If you're planning on using this script over and over on multiple servers you may find creating a variable is helpful. $some_variable = "the_script_name.php"; Then, where you would use PHP_SELF just echo (or whatever) $some_variable. You will have to change it if the script name changes, but otherwise it's just a relative path. -Dan On Sat, 2003-07-05 at 19:43, Beauford.2005 wrote: > Hi, > > I have a very simple form that searches a MySQL database and I want to > be able to have the search appear on the same page as the search. > > <FORM NAME="search" METHOD="post" ACTION="<? $PHP_SELF; > ?>"> > <INPUT type=text size=30 name=player> > <INPUT TYPE="image" src="../images/submit.gif" > width="75" > height"30" value="submit"> > </FORM> > > The part that confuses me is how I run the code for the search. > Currently I have it in a function and at the top of the script I have an > IF statement that checks to see if the submit button has been pressed, > if it has I go to the function.
