PHP_SELF is part of the $_SERVER super global, you should really access it like this: $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] To answer your question though, it's just a variable - if you want to output it into your form action then you can do either: <? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?> or <?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?> Either would work.
