I've found the easiest way to get a dynamic filename is with
$var = basename ($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"],".php");
No REGEXes, no arrays, no registered globals. 8)
This is especially handy in files that get included in other files (e.g. class objects), because the
superglobal assumes the value of the includING page instead of the includED one, so you end up with
a file that dynamically reassigns (in a manner of speaking) the value of $_SERVER[PHP_SELF].
