linking to file but remove ?id=1

[XeroXer]

[u][b]Hello![/b][/u]

My guestbook is based on one file.
Earlier today I got help regarding linking inside the file.
Well now I need more help regarding that.

Becuase people might wanna change the name of my file I added so it uses [color=red]$_SERVER[PHP_SELF][/color].
At the start of the file I set [color=red]$gbpage[/color] to [color=red]$_SERVER[PHP_SELF][/color] and then in the file use it like this:
[code]<?php echo $gbpage; ?>?id=1[/code]

The problem comes if people go first to [color=red]id2[/color] and then fron there to [color=red]id4[/color].
Then I want them to by one click or automatic refresh of the page get back to the start page.

Let's say the file name is [color=red]index.php[/color]. Then they click a link to [color=red]index.php?id=2[/color] and from there [color=red]index.php?id=4[/color].
Then I want the page to go back to [color=red]index.php[/color].
But because I don't know what the filename is and [color=red]$_SERVER[PHP_SELF][/color] outputs [color=red]index.php?id=4[/color] I have a problem.

Can I somhow use the [color=red]$_SERVER[PHP_SELF][/color] and remove the [color=red]?id=4[/color] automatic?

off the top of my head ... try $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']

How should I make that in a link?

Because I use it in many places in the file I first det the function and then try to make it as a link:

[code]<?php
$gbpageother = "$_SERVER[SCRIPT_NAME]";
?>
<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='3\;URL=$gbpageother'>
You will be sent back in 3 seconds. If not click <a href='$gbpageother'>here</a>[/code]

This may look stupid to you but then please clear it out.
How should this be done?

Added to the point is that the above example does not work...

its easy use this
[code]<?php
$gbpageother = "$_SERVER[SCRIPT_NAME]";
?>
<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='3\;URL=<? echo $gbpageother ?>'>
You will be sent back in 3 seconds. If not click <a href='<? echo $gbpageother; ?>'>here</a>[/code]
incase you want ?id=4 then do this
[code]<?php
$gbpageother = "$_SERVER[SCRIPT_NAME]";
?>
<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='3\;URL=<? echo $gbpageother ?>?id=4'>
You will be sent back in 3 seconds. If not click <a href='<? echo $gbpageother; ?>?id=4'>here</a>[/code]

how about if I am setting that text as a $ then?
[code]$gbedited = "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='3\;URL=$gbpageother'>Click <a href='$gbpageother'>here</a>";

[/code]

Because I use that text multiple times to...
