PHP_SELF in a form

[petermaci]

hello I am recursively calling an index.html page through a <form> action call like this...

<FORM action="<?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method=post>

this works on my localhost, but not on my remote test server, I get the 405 resource not allowed error... I am thinking that this is just a php.ini or apache setting, any pointers ?

Try replacing $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] with $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF']

I actually figured this out myself, thanks for the reply.

The problem was that the file was an .HTML file and not a .PHP file, so the interpreter was only configured to deal with .PHP files... I changed the extension and away we went...

You dont need the PHP_SELF there.. Just put something like:

<FORM action="?action=search" method=post>

as long as the action="" is not empty, it will submit to itself! if it is empty, it will submit to the index file!
