SCRIPT_NAME comes from CGI 1.1 and is required according to the specifications, iirc, it depends on how well the paticular webserver impelments the CGI spec when running php as a module. PHP_SELF will almost always be filled out, it is defined within PHP itself. Curt -- Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
