Description:
------------
PHP_SELF is doesn't seen to be visible in view source



When I press submit it doesn't seem to do anything! I looked into it on the php site and found a bug (Bug #21261 and 4060 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=21261). I then downloaded and installed the latest php snapshot (4.3.5RC1)but the problem persists. As a person fairly new to development I'm a bit stumped, have you any suggestions?

The closure details of 4060 "Fixed by Frank in CVS" are insufficient for me to know what to do next.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<html>

<body>

<?php



if ($submit) {

  // process form

  while (list($name, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {

    echo "$name = $value<br>\n";

  }

} else{

  // display form

  ?>

  <form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF?>">

  First name:<input type="Text" name="first"><br>

  Last name:<input type="Text" name="last"><br>

  Address:<input type="Text" name="address"><br>

  Position:<input type="Text" name="position"><br>

  <input type="Submit" name="submit" value="Enter information">

  </form>

  <?php



} // end if



?>



</body>



</html>


Appears as follows when I view source:

<html>

<body>


  <form method="post" action="">

  First name:<input type="Text" name="first"><br>

  Last name:<input type="Text" name="last"><br>

  Address:<input type="Text" name="address"><br>

  Position:<input type="Text" name="position"><br>

  <input type="Submit" name="submit" value="Enter information">

  </form>

  


</body>



</html>


Expected result:
----------------
A display of the variables placed in the form displayed on screen when submit button is pressed.

Actual result:
--------------
The form resets itself and data entered is lost.

The latest snapshot i've loaded is 4.3.5RC2

I am fairly confident I've missed something but I would really like some guidance.

Found a fix....

register_globals is set to off in later versions....by default.
