Why? Because $PHP_SELF is an undefined variable. There is nothing
assigned to it and you're trying to use it in a function. 

But, you say, $PHP_SELF is supposed to be the current page. Yes,
normally it would with register_globals ON, but you are inside of a
function, so it is a whole new variable now. 

So, like someone else suggested, make it global inside your function

Global $PHP_SELF;

Or, if you're on a new version, just use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] and you
don’t have to worry about global.

even on old versions of PHP,
he can then just use: $GLOBALS['PHP_SELF'] w/o worrying about the Global
keyword!
