Re: php_self and windows

This is a side-effect of using the CGI version of PHP4, because Apache invisibly redirects to the URL you see with for PHP_SELF, which is what the script is running as itself. You can either use REQUEST_URI instead of PHP_SELF, or install the Win32 Apache module version (note: you will have needed to download the version with ISAPI support, not the one with an installer), which you can find directions to install the module version here: http://cvs.php.net/viewcvs.cgi/php4/win32/install.txt (just click on the first download link) and I would recommend adding the following additional lines in addition to the this one (the first one is in the directions): AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml Matthew At 12:07 PM 12/8/2000 -0800, you wrote:
