RE: [PHP] header("Location:") problem with Netscape

[Matt Schroebel]

It's not $PHP_SELF that's the issue here -- well it was probably blank because either 
register_globals is off or you were in a function and didn't global it.  The real 
trouble is that. IE < v6.0 is forgiving and if the action="" is blank sends the 
request to the current page. So you feel comfy and think all is well, when in fact you 
have an empty action on your form.  Incidentally, Microsoft changed this and I.E. 6.0 
behaves just like Netscape 4.7.

Jeff,

I just had this problem!

Using $PHP_SELF did not work with Netscape 4.7 for some reason. I was 
using it in form submissions and kept getting the error 'Method Not 
Allowed'. My fix was simple, I just hard coded the action url since.

If you really need $PHP_SELF, I don't know what the fix is. I also tried 
getenv(PHP_SELF) and $_SERVER[PHP_SELF] without any luck.
