Global variable question question - PHP Development

[Jason Giangrande]

When registered globals is set to off this does not effect the $PHP_SELF
variable right? In other words I should be able to call $PHP_SELF with
out having to do this $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], right?

Thanks,
Jason Giangrande

I would assume that if you turned register_globals off $PHP_SELF will no
longer be available. Course you can always extract($_SERVER); if you want
the effect of register_globals inside your script without turning the
feature on globally.

No. With register_globals OFF, $PHP_SELF is not set.

Actually, I am running PHP 4.3.2 on a Gentoo Linux box with
registered_globals set to Off and $PHP_SELF does work. The production
box running Red Hat and PHP 4.3.0, with register_globals also set to
Off, doesn't work using $PHP_SELF (as apparently it should), and this is
why I was asking.
