I want call the current page and set a variable (or call a function) < a href="index.php?variable=bananas" -this works but means I have to change it for every page name I have tried <a href="<? $PHP_SELF(); ?>">this is the link</a>

What's wrong with <a href="<?php print($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>?name=val">link</a> By the way, you can't trust PHP_SELF, so you might want to escape or validate that variable.
