PHP_SELF is not working?

Hello everyone. When I attempt to load a url of a script containing $PHP_SELF, the string below shows up in the middle of the url and the browser of course fails to load anything. Now I have located this '/php3/php.exe' string in /apache/conf/httpd.conf shown below. I can read what it says it is for but don't understand why its coming into play. I don't see that I am calling a matching file nor why it should appear in the path. When I rem out the line, the browser doesn't load anything. When I change the file name, the browser tells me there is no such file. Is there something else that must be done to go along with this feature. How is it done to make $PHP_SELF be the current script? Thank you again for any assistance in this. Floyd Baker In the httpd.conf file: # Action lets you define media types that will execute a script whenever # a matching file is called. This eliminates the need for repeated URL # pathnames for oft-used CGI file processors. # Format: Action media/type /cgi-script/location # Format: Action handler-name /cgi-script/location Action application/x-httpd-php3 /php3/php.exe ====================== When I ask for the PHP_SELF value, it always comes up /php3/php.exe . I have no idea where it gets that but it never changes. Isn't it supposed to be whatever script is running at the present time; and to be so all by itself? Thanks for any information on this. Floyd --
