Re: $PHP_SELF not working -please help

Is the code below in a function? If so, you'll have to globalize $PHP_SELF: function your_function() { global $PHP_SELF; ... echo $PHP_SELF; .. } alternatively, you could do function your_function() { ... echo $GLOBALS['PHP_SELF']; .. } To the best of my knowledge, PHP_SELF is set regardless of the register_globals configuration setting, but I'm not 100% sure. -steve At 11:13 AM +0000 12/19/01, Caleb Carvalho wrote:
