Bad URL returned by PHP

gymBob · June 9, 2008

I am new to PHP and having a problem that I cannot find an answer to. When submitting a form and using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] for example, http://www.edgdwcs3.com/workfiles/ch14/feedback.php, the URL returned is http://www.edgdwcs3.com/workfiles/ch14/feedback.php/workfiles/ch14/feedback.php? . When I run a phpinfo(); in a file named info.php the PHP variables section shows _SERVER["PHP_SELF"]=/info.php/info.php. Does anyone know if this is normal and I'm missing something or am I doing something, or have something configured, wrong?

Thanks in advance,

gymBob
