Actually, to be truly portable, it should be: Not all hosts have short tags enabled in their PHP installations. Additionally, you have to be careful with PHP_SELF. On web servers that allow PATH_INFO -- i.e., arguments to the script in the form of path information, like '/path/to/script.php/more/path/info -- PHP_SELF will contain the path to the script PLUS the contents of $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] -- which leaves PHP_SELF vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks. For some discussion on this, see: http://blog.phpdoc.info/archives/13-XSS-Woes.html If you're using Apache, the safer bet is to use $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']; otherwise, use PHP_SELF, but filter it to exclude the path information. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Zend Certified Engineer http://weierophinney.net/matthew/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

PHP_SELF is part of the $_SERVER super global, you should really access it like this: $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] To answer your question though, it's just a variable - if you want to output it into your form action then you can do either: or Either would work.

SCRIPT_NAME comes from CGI 1.1 and is required according to the specifications, iirc, it depends on how well the paticular webserver impelments the CGI spec when running php as a module.

No, the problem is that the URLs don't match. The browser does accurately find
the page, etc., but the url is "wrong." It makes it hard to evaluate site
statistics, etc.

It would be easier to hard code the name of the page in the POST. With this
suggestion, what if I move the page to a deeper subdir? I want PHP_SELF to be
the same url as the page.

Can't do that, the page is repeatedly and indefinitely called.
Others have asked me to tell them if we find a solution. Which we're still
looking for, I guess. I'm still open to suggestions.

Re: [PHP] $PHP_SELF with redirected domain
...and the problem that the form immediately goes to the real url is that

What about one of the following:
- chop off the subdir again by only putting the last part of $PHP_SELF as
form action (f.i. with a combination of substr($PHP_SELF,...,...) and
strpos('/') )
or
- when i do a full path in the redirect in .htaccess:
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.domain.org/redirect/redirect.php
it is treated as a fresh page and all form results are lost
but when i do
ErrorDocument 404 /redirect/redirect.php
in .htaccess, the original post and get vars stay, and i suppose

Maybe the same happens with your thing, i happen not to know what %1/$1
does. If %1 is the domain, try to do it without that (but with the slash,
so /$1 ). Worth a try innit?
or
- simply make a new page that receives the file, or not using $PHP_SELF but
the actual filename.

Is there a way around that?
Details:
The domain name is redirected in .htaccess like this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !domain2
RewriteRule ^(.*) %1/$1 [L]
So, domain2 is really a directory on domain1, but http://domain2.com will be
taken to that directory on domain 1 as if it was the http root
But, when using $PHP_SELF, I get the extra directory, so the form may start
here:
http://domain2.com/myform.php
But the $PHP_SELF forces the next POST page to be
http://domain2.com/domain2/myform.php

Wrapping vars in braces helps clarify the code, and can avoid problems like:
I've also found it helps with things like:
click";
?>
... where normally the single quotes would cause confusion, or require the
href to be wrapped in escaped double quotes.
In otherwords, wrapping $vars in {braces} provides clarity to both the PHP
parser, and to the writer, IMHO.

This is only valid if the array is contained within a double quoted string
- it will generate a parser warning outside a string (undefind constant
PHP_SELF).

The docs on strings
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php) clearly states this:
"If a dollar sign ($) is encountered, the parser will greedily take as much
tokens as possible to form a valid variable name. Enclose the variable name
in curly braces if you want to explicitly specify the end of the name."
$fruits = array('strawberry' => 'red', 'banana' => 'yellow');
// Works but note that this works differently outside string-quotes
echo "A banana is $fruits[banana].";
// Works
echo "A banana is {$fruits['banana']}.";
// Works but PHP looks for a constant named banana first
// as described below.
echo "A banana is {$fruits[banana]}.";
// Won't work, use braces. This results in a parse error.
echo "A banana is $fruits['banana'].";
// Works
echo "A banana is " . $fruits['banana'] . ".";

Just so there's no confusion, with double quoted strings, you can do it one
of two ways.
echo "The value is {$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}";
or
echo "The value is $_SERVER[PHP_SELF]";
Neither is any more right than the other. You can always end the string and
concatinate the variable, too...
echo "The value is " . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
In that case, you should always use quotes around the key, single or double,
doesn't matter much.

echo ('' . "\n");
works for me (moved the variable outside the string). I first thought it
might be a scope problem, but $_SERVER is apparently a superglobal so
that's not it.

Hello Leif, hello all, after successfully compiling and installing php.4.3-dev from tarball there in my info.php the variable Variable Value PHP_SELF PHP_SELF has no value. How can I set this? Oliver Etzel
Re: [PHP] PHP_SELF Variable
Not quite sure what you mean, but I'm guessing you're trying to use $PHP_SELF and it's not set. If that's the case, use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] instead. Register_globals defaults to disabled now.

Ach. Well, $PHP_SELF is in the global scope, so you will either need to
use 'global $PHP_SELF;' at the beginning of your function, or reference
it as $GLOBALS['PHP_SELF']. If you do one, you don't need to do the
other. If you're using PHP 4.1.0 or later, just use
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

$PHP_SELF is unknown to the function "questions()".
You'll need to add "global $PHP_SELF" at the top of the function.

Another reason, as I understand it (and I'm sure Torben will correct me if I'm
wrong!), is that in the version without quotes, PHP_SELF is taken as the name of a
constant -- which, as it happens to be undefined, PHP very kindly assumes you intended
to be the equivalent string 'PHP_SELF'. This is bad for two reasons: (1) the PHP
compiler is doing avoidable extra work to get the desired result; (2) if you just
happen, at a later date, to define a constant of that name, your result will suddenly
be wrong (unlikely with PHP_SELF, I admit, but less so with something like, say,
MAX_SIZE). Even though this is only a theoretical danger of low probability, the
principles of good defensive programming would suggest that you nonetheless avoid it
with a vengeance!!

I've used the ${$var} to resolve the ambiguity of variable variables, but I
wasn't aware that if could solve the problem with arrays within strings.
I've always broke out of the string for the array part, and concatenated the
rest of the string after that. I thought that was ugly, so of late I had
been using the unquoted index inside strings.
Thanks, Lars, for setting me straight on this.

Ah, I had forgotten about that. I stay away from the first version, and
completely forgot about the second version. Ironic, because IIRC it is
the answer to one of the first questions I posted on this list. (I was
trying to include mysql_fetch_array elements in print statements and
didn't want to transfer the value to a scalar beforehand, or
something! :)

A couple of reasons. For one, it's just inconsistent in that string
indices should always be quoted--but then not in strings. So people tend
to think that since "$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]" is OK, that $_SERVER[PHP_SELF]
would be OK too--when it's not. It's more of an issue when giving
examples and writing docs than for coding, really--but it doesn't hurt.
The other reason is that the parser needs help resolving ambiguity with
more complex expressions inside strings. If you use this syntax all the
time, you won't get bitten in the butt later. Check this out:
array('bar' => 'baz'));
echo "My Baz is $array[foo][bar]\n";
echo "My Baz is {$array['foo']['bar']}\n";
?>
Many times I've had to explain why the output is:
My Baz is Array[bar]
My Baz is baz

Can you expand on why the first option isn't generally acceptable? I can
understand there being an issue with spaces in an index, but is there some

Sorry, but I do have to correct you here--this isn't true. ;) In double-
quoted strings and heredocs, you can do the following:
$foo = "This page is $_SERVER[PHP_SELF]";
Or, better:
$foo = "This page is {$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}";
You do have to concat to do this in single-quoted (noninterpolated)
strings, though.

Re: [PHP] $PHP_SELF not working -please help
Is the code below in a function? If so, you'll have to globalize $PHP_SELF:
function your_function() {
global $PHP_SELF;
...
echo $PHP_SELF;
..
}
alternatively, you could do
function your_function() {
...
echo $GLOBALS['PHP_SELF'];
..
}
To the best of my knowledge, PHP_SELF is set regardless of the
register_globals configuration setting, but I'm not 100% sure.

I think this is what you are asking for :
The string entered was : $input";
} else {
/* page does not exist, so we should display the form */
?>
Input :
(Caution - I haven't tested this... could be typos)
If you want multiple pages, you can do this:
if (!isset($page)) {
/* do page 1 */
} else {
switch($page) {
case '1' :
/* do page 2 */
break;
case '2' :
/* do page 3 */
break;
default :
/* someone's messing with the URL string */
break;
}
}

Hi again! Thank you for those who have reply my email. Actually I'm trying to make a hangman game for my students. I have seen one game written using PHP_SELF but I can't understand who it works. So, with the PHP_self (in my hangman game) I probably can send the value of my variable to the same page. now my next question is: How do i maintain the content of the page which is build based on the value passed from the previous submision?

Kinda, but not really.
If you want to do this, you've got to stuff it all in one function, like
so:
function dunno($mandatory, $optional1 = NULL, $opt2 = NULL){
if (NULL === $optional1){
// behave, as if only $mandatory is set
echo 'mandatory is: ' . $mandatory;
return;
}
if (NULL === $optional2){
// behave, as if $man. and $opt1 have set
echo 'mand is : ' . $mandatory;
echo 'opt1 is : ' . $optional1;
return;
}
// neither $opt1 nor $opt2 are null
echo 'mand is : ' . $mandatory;
echo 'opt1 is : ' . $optional1;
echo 'opt2 is : ' . $opt2;
return;
}

You can do this with variable parameters. Something along
these lines:
function myFunc( $requiredVar, $optionalVar1 = "", $optionalVar2 = "" ) {
echo "$requiredVar\n";
if( $optionalVar1 ) {
echo "$optionalVar1\n";
}
// etc.
}
Alternately, if you need *alot* of optional vars, consider passing
an array and check that.

Cool ...
Now that we're talking about PHP
I'd like to ask a question
You know the "overloading" function in C++ Is that possible in PHP ?
Basically , I'd like to define more than one function having the same name
but different number of variables/parameters ... so PHP would know which one
I'm calling depending on the numbwer/type of the variables ...
exemple :
Would this work ?

Granted, it's always been my fault, but it would have been nice to have something there to say "hey, this variable hasn't been defined". I know you can make PHP do this if you set the error checking very, very high but in doing so, you are also opening up another bucket of worms that you don't always need to deal with. > > variables in a function.

This is definitely a matter of coding style. Neither of us are wrong, just a matter of preference. In replying, I was simply offering alternatives so that Arcadius would know all options open to him.

Uh? I don't see it. The "matching" function 1 is:
function processLotsOfFormVars() {
global $fieldOne;
global $fieldTwo;
echo "Field One is: $fieldOne\n";
echo "Field Two is: $fieldTwo\n";
}
this quite doesn't look as intimidating as the piece you wrote. And
even if there are 10 lines of 'global', I still like it a lot better,
because it CLEARLY shows which form vars are going to be used.
One of the downside of PHP IMHO is, that you do not have to define
variables. This leads to a lot of errors. At least there should be a
"option", which forces you to define variables, like maybe so:
dim $some_var;
this leads to easier readable code IMHO.
> variables in a function. Plus, if the function gets large,

Now, that's the point I'm arguing here. I don't think so.

True. But take the following function:
function processLotsOfFormVars() {
global $fieldOne, $fieldTwo, $fieldThree, $fieldFour;
global $fieldFive, $fieldSix, $fieldSeven;
global $PHP_SELF, $REQUEST_URI;
global $HTTP_REFERER;
echo "Field One is: $fieldOne\n";
echo "Field Two is: $fieldTwo\n";
// etc
}
OR you can do it this way:
function processLotsOfFormVars() {
echo "Field One is: $GLOBALS[fieldOne]\n";
echo "Field Two is: $GLOBALS[fieldTwo]\n";
// etc
}
I've done it both ways. I'm not advocating using
"$GLOBALS[var_name];" over "global $var_name",
just that it is an alternative if you are using alot of global
variables in a function. Plus, if the function gets large,
it's easier to see where the value is coming from by using
the $GLOBALS variable.
That's all I was saying.

You need a "global $SCRIPT_FILENAME;" at the top of the function.

Re: [PHP] PHP_SELF
Michael,
I've got a program set up like you describe.
the problem is I've noticed that my variables are NOT stable
this is it in a nutshell
1) show 3 options with radio buttons for each
2) based on above query a database and show a list of the records
(now it just dawned on my that I've been doing this with URL's and that might be the
problem)
3) show all of the fields in the record to edit as necessary.
4) update the table
1,2,3 work fine. I save the id number of the record. however, it isn't persistent.
IOW,
suddenly the variable is set to null.
am I just not understanding how php scripts work?
or is my usage of URL's in appropriate. I'm new to the world of php.
thanks
chris

RE: [PHP] PHP_SELF
Actually there is no need for you to use exit(); If you choose to use this
method cheking for empty fields one at a time rather than all at once; you
can simplify your code a bit as follows:
If($HTTP_POST_VARS){
if(!$Age) { echo "Please enter your age"; }
elseif(!$Email){ echo "Please enter your email"; }
else
echo "Thanks for your submission";
// continue processing...
...
...
}
}
but in any case, I'm glad I was of help.

Re: [PHP] PHP_SELF (code snip)
HI
You can figure this out so you can work with one file. It's much
easier to maintain.
Here is an example. It's a simple RSVP form. ***Change line 100 to
use your own email address to receive the information. I wrote this
a while back so I'm not bragging about the html format or coding but
it works. It uses a more primitive series of IF's to test the input
rather than the IF - ELSEIF - ELSE series I described earlier. In
this example, remember the first time through, pg is blank (which is
<2).
Good Luck.
RSVP
Please fill-in your first name." ; } ;
if($last=="")
{ echo "Please fill-in your family name." ; } ;
if($em=="")
{ echo "Please fill-in your email address." ;
} ;
}
}
?>
Member
RSVP
Please
fill-in each line.
Name
First
Family
E-Mail Address
Is this correct?
Use Back-Button to make a change or Send It!

echo "Name: $fi $last ";

Your RSVP Was Sent! - - Thank You!

I do this sort of thing all the time. The format I use typically
follows this logic.
The PHP file has four IF-ELSEIF-ELSE sections.
pg=1 or blank is the initial form
pg=2 is the error check looking at input values.
If it passes, pg is set to 3.
If not, set to 1. The advantage of this is the original input
values can be saved and displayed with Value=
sequences so the use doesn't have to input everything if they
make a mistake. The error can be highlighted with a color or
text!!!.
pg=3 shows a visual verification page. The user can scan the
input and use the back button to make changes or click OK to
proceed.
pg=4 is the action step - send an e-mail including the input,
post input to a database or ???
The sections are written in this order - 2, 4, 3, 1.
IF($pg="2")
{ do the error checking
e.g., if fields A, B, and C are not blank = OK
e.g., if a value is > 100 = not OK
IF OK, $pg=3; IF not OK, $pg=1;
}
ELSEIF($pg="4")
{ do the action stuff.
}
ELSEIF($pg="3")
{ show an html page in a nice format showing the input values
IF they like it, the form submit button sets pg=4, and
uses hidden fields to copy all of the input values to pg 4.
}
ELSE
{ Show the initial input form.
use
}
The form can include error check and input tags like this:
>>> { ECHO"Required."; } ?>
>>>"$val3"; ?>
>>>"CHECKED"; } ?> >6
>>>"CHECKED"; } ?> >7
and so on. Hope this is useful...

You are assigning these values, not comparing them
$post = "1"// puts "1" in the variable $post
$post == "1" // compares $post to "1"
you need to change your code to
if ($post == "1" && $age == " ") { blah blah blah

I have a text area that the user inputs their age. What I want is that
if the field is blank, to stop the script and send the user back to fill

form, The script interprets the form as being blank and spits out the

the form is submitted, do the logic check and act accordingly. Is it
possible using $PHP_SELF as the target, or do I have to use 2 files: a

RE: [PHP] PHP_SELF
I personally think it is best to display a form error on the form itself,
rather than given them a blank page that shows an error, then have them
click a button or link to go back to the form. Here is somewhat a quick and
dirty example of how I go about forms and error checking. For this example I
am only checking for a required field, you can elaborate on this and check
to see if input for age is numerical, or whatever other type of
error-checking you may need to do:
" METHOD="post">
">
">
Hope this helps.

Re: [PHP] PHP_SELF
So far this message and another who mentioned $HTTP_POST_VARS[]
made a small light go off in my head. Not enough to get the script
woriking, but it made me think. Its not clear, but I sort of came up
with another way, but I dont know if its doable
.
In my form I have a hidden element called 'post' with a value of 1.
After the end of the form I echo $post.
If its a first time view, there is nothing to output, thats normal.
If I submitted the form it echoes 1, thats to be expected.
Now, Im able to tell if the form has been posted or not.
Enter some logic..
if ($post = "1" && $Age = " ") {echo "NO";}
else {echo "YES";}
Now here is what happens. On a first time view of the page it outputs
'NO' (Good). If I dont enter anything in the age field and submit the
form it outputs 'NO' (Good). If I enter a value into the age field and
submit, it outputs 'NO' (Not Good).
Am I heading in the right direction with this??

follows this logic.
The PHP file has four IF-ELSEIF-ELSE sections.
pg=1 or blank is the initial form
pg=2 is the error check looking at input values.
If it passes, pg is set to 3.
If not, set to 1. The advantage of this is the original input
values can be saved and displayed with Value= sequences so
the use doesn't have to input everything if they make a mistake. The
error can be highlighted with a color or text!!!.
pg=3 shows a visual verification page. The user can scan the input
and use the back button to make changes or click OK to proceed.
pg=4 is the action step - send an e-mail including the input, post
input to a database or ???
The sections are written in this order - 2, 4, 3, 1.
IF($pg="2")
{ do the error checking
e.g., if fields A, B, and C are not blank = OK
e.g., if a value is > 100 = not OK
IF OK, $pg=3; IF not OK, $pg=1;
}
ELSEIF($pg="4")
{ do the action stuff.
}
ELSEIF($pg="3")
{ show an html page in a nice format showing the input values
IF they like it, the form submit button sets pg=4, and
uses hidden fields to copy all of the input values to pg 4.
}
ELSE
{ Show the initial input form.
use
}
The form can include error check and input tags like this:
Required."; } ?>

Whatever fancy javascript validation you do client side, you MUST validate everything server side as though you'd done no client validation, since you can't guarantee that your script is being called with sanitised data from on of your own pages.

Re: [PHP] PHP_SELF
What I did was use javascript to make sure they filled out certain parts of
the form. I also created a php version in case they disabelled
javascripting. The way I did this was each input do this:
When they first come into the site the $Username value will be blank, but
once they have submitted the form it will now contain whatever value they
inputted. Just do an "if" check for all the variables that you want to be
required and then a message variable that appends for each form value they
forgot to fill out and then output the message.
I hope that helps! :)

W...besides your everyday, run of the mill geek who hates Javascript pop-ups, who really disables JavaScript? 95% of the users out there don't ever touch the default browser settings. Also, the Javascript 1.0 has been around since, what, Netscape 2? It's all you really need for form validation. Even IE3 supports it pretty well. All the version 5 and 6 browsers support it, and that's 90% + of the market. The biggest issue is the AOL browser, which is rather finicky. It can be done, though.

Just add some logic to determine if the page is being displayed for the first time, or, if it is being posted to. An easy way to check this is to see if $HTTP_POST_VARS[] has any elements. If it does, the form has been posted, so process the form data.

RE: [PHP] PHP_SELF
It's generally a whole lot better to do your form value checking with
Javascript. It'll be faster and alot less of a waste of your server
resources. IMHO, of course. :)

RE: [PHP] $PHP_SELF name space?
$PHP_SELF is a global variable. You're trying to call it from inside a
function, which won't work unless you declare it as global to the function
(unless you have some thing in the php.ini file set that I don't remember
off the top of my head what it's called which will make all that stuff
global anyway). You've got to do:
class xCrumbs
{
function Render(){
global $PHP_SELF;
echo $PHP_SELF;
}
}
$crumbs = new xCrumbs();
$crumbs->Render();

I think you need to declare $PHP_SELF global when referring to it in a
function...

Re: [PHP] $PHP_SELF vs. functions, arrays and variable
Hi Scott,
Good question! $PHP_SELF is a global variable, so you need to declare it in
functions:
function a()
{
global $PHP_SELF;
print $PHP_SELF;
}
