server variable and php_self

[garry27]

i've tried to use the php self a number of times but i can never get it to work. here, i'm trying to say if the current executable is called index.php then ...

[code]$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] !== 'index.php'[/code]

the function that's calling it is in a folder called php_functions in the root directory and index.php is in the root

$_SERVER['php_self'] returns the full URL path, like http://267.21.212.22/.../index.php, and not just the file name.
try to use preg_match to determine if the filename is contained in  $_SERVER['php_self'].

Actually $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] would return just the filename with no querystring...

i.e.

http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php

It will return '/index.php';

this will help you with your server variables.

[code=php:0]
<?php
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_SERVER);
echo "</pre>";
?>
[/code]
