Note the manual entry for PHP_SELF states the following: "The filename of the currently executing script, relative to the document root. For instance, $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] in a script at the address http://example.com/test.php/foo.bar would be /test.php/foo.bar." However I did some vigorous testing on three different machines and this note is not always true. The results are given below: Given a URL of http://www.example.com/Info.php/Page/Home Apache 2.2.4/Win32/PHP 5.2.2/Apache 2.0 Handler ----> PHP_SELF = Info.php/Page/Home Apache 1.3.37/Unix/PHP 5.2.2/CGI ----> PHP_SELF = Info.php Apache 1.3.33/Unix/5.1.4/FastCGI ----> PHP_SELF = Info.php To be completely honest, I am not sure why this is the case; perhaps there is a setting in Apache to modify this option, but in either case take careful consideration of this note. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 217.54.225.113 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/81216 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81216/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81216/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81216/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81216/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81216/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81216/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81216 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/81216 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
