Wow, thanks for that.

I haven't visited firepages since... what, about two years ago? fp has sure done a lot of work.

Abhishek if you or anyone else wants the bundle php/mysql/apache/perl/mysql + manuals check out firepages.com.au

It works. I never knew of SCRIPT_NAME.

Thanks, guys.

After reading zollet's post, I had to check the manual... (I didn't remember anything about 'SCRIPT_NAME')

Quote:
'PHP_SELF'
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.

If PHP is running as a command-line processor, this variable is not available.

'SCRIPT_NAME'
Contains the current script's path. This is useful for pages which need to point to themselves.

From that, I'm guessing that Xitami is running *.php files from a command-line (like a shell), and returning the output.

Abhi, from what I've understood $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] (aka $PHP_SELF) works only with Apache. For other webservers you should try $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"] (aka $SCRIPT_NAME).

dk01, $PHP_SELF is an undefined variable.

Mark, I've just tried $HTTP_SERVER_VARS and $GLOBALS. $HTTP_SERVER_VARS gives me a timeout. $GLOBALS gives an undefined index error.

In any case, this isn't a big deal. What I really need for now is to use SERVER_NAME, and that works, so it's ok.

I don't have Apache but I'm going to install it soon. Maybe PHP_SELF will work in that environment. I use Xitami because it's a handy little program, and is hardly a resource hog. It's like a good working version of PWS, that supports CGI/PHP. Simply, it does what it's supposed to do. (Well, until now, of course. )

Have you tried the same script using Apache on the same box?
Do you still have the same problem?

its an open source webserver

Mark Hensler — Wed, 13 Nov 2002 17:22:22 +0000

Can you access it via $GLOBALS["PHP_SELF"] or $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["PHP_SELF"] ?

And what is Xitami?

Why not just use $PHP_SELF ?
