if I open a script containing only the phpinfo() function, the $PHP_SELF field is not filled in. In my own scripts it's not setted at all.

I'm using the zipped version of php4.06 with cgi wrapper using xitami 2.4d6 running as a windows service.

Was able to verify this.  Anyone able to provide any information about why this occurs?

Can you try 4.1.0 or even 4.1.1 (when it's out) or the latest CVS (snaps.php.net)?

No feedback, closing.

Hi. I also have this Problem, even with the newest version of PHP (4.1.1, using the *.msi file). I'm using Xitami, but I can't be that, because when using PHP3, all works well.

Is there a fix?

I had the same problem using PHP 4.1.2 and still have the problem using 4.2.1. Platform is Linux and Apache 1.3.24.

but you can use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] to access PHP_SELF. maybe $PHP_SELF doesn't exist anymore?!

Typically register_globals = on is what creates $PHP_SELF.  register_globals affects many variables, SERVER ones too. 

If you really want $PHP_SELF to exist then try:

if (!ini_get('register_globals')) {
    extract($HTTP_SERVER_VARS);
}

This may or may not be a solution to the original bug report, but is regarding Oliver's and perhaps Jeff's.
