[SOLVED] Undefined Variable PHP_SELF ?

[stublackett]

Hi,

 

I've got a form that Edits details via a form

 

When the form is submitted the browser is showing "Page Cannot Be Found" and the error is appearing in the URL for the page

 

The error reads

admin/%3Cbr%20/%3E%3Cb%3ENotice%3C/b%3E:%20%20Undefined%20variable:%20PHP_SELF%20in%20%3Cb%3EE:/editdirectoryitem.php%3C/b%3E%20on%20line%20%3Cb%3E164%3C/b%3E%3Cbr%20/%3E

 

Not quite sure what pieces of code may be required to decypher this...

 

But the form submit bit is here:

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF ; ?>" >

Try using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']. If that doesn't work, try manually putting the URL in for the action just to see if it works.

Excellent....... Cheers, I had considered that but didnt use it for whatever reason

 

Why would the form work initially with the <?php echo $PHP_SELF ; ?> then stop working ??? Is that down to Versions been upgraded in PHP or something totally different?

Nope, because $PHP_SELF; is not there, so the source code will be

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="" >

 

or , if error_reporting is on,

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="Something like, Warning Undefiened Variable $PHP_SELF." >

If you use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] the source code should be fine.

I think register_globals has to be enabled in order for just $PHP_SELF to work. It's bad practice to use that anyways.
