Re: *weird* virtual server/PHP_SELF problem

PHP_SELF is just supposed to return the part after the hostname. If you are using a standard form, you don't need the host in there, unless it's being passed to another server, in which cause you can just use "http://$HTTP_HOST$PHP_SELF" as the URL to pass. If you are just using a standard form and want it to submit to the same page, specifying the host isn't necessary (I never do). Matthew At 02:31 AM 12/6/2000 +0000, you wrote:

Hi Folks, I'm encountering a weird problem with my virtual server setup (implemented with Apache/1.3.14 (Unix) DAV/1.0.1 PHP/4.0.3pl1 mod_ssl/2.7.1 OpenSSL/0.9.6) and I'm wondering if anyone can help me. Basically PHP_SELF which gets used to build FORM ACTION boxes and so on only returns the right hand component of what I thought was the URL requested. It does not return the hostname. Example: I request http://www.americanq.com/blah.php from my browser, PHP_SELF says (and phpinfo() confirms) that it's blah.php. The FORM ACTION building mechanism more or less requires the http://hostname bit as well. Could it have something to do with my Apache virtual server setup? It's something like: NameVirtualHost * <VirtualHost *>

        ServerName www.americanq.com
        DocumentRoot blah/americanq
        ServerAdmin ops@blah.com

</VirtualHost> .... and so on. Any ideas?
