Form Script Question

[Zapp]

Hi
Can anyone tell me why my form script fails at this line
<form action="$_SERVE R['PHP_SELF']" method="POST">

when running on my ISP which is using PHP version 4.3.2,
Configure Command './configure' '--prefix=/usr/local'
'--with-apache=/home/shells/chriss/Apachetoolbox-1.5.66/apache_1.3.27'
'--enable-exif' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-calendar=shared '
'--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-wddx' '--enable-ftp'
'--enable-inline-optimization' '--enable-memory-limit'
'--with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl'




but works on my Linux box running running PHP version 4.3.1.
Configure Command './configure' '--with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd'
'--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin' '--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs'
'--with-java=/usr/java/jdk1.3.1' '--disable-cli' '--includedir=/usr'
'--with-gdbm' '--with-db' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/'
'--with-gd=/usr'



I'll supply more inf if needed.

Thanks in advance

If You're in HTML, the line should read
<form action="<?=$_SE RVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="POST">

If this in an echo statement or a variable ect, it should be:
<form action=\" . "$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] . "\" method=\"POST\" >
or shorter:
<form action=\"$PHP_S ELF\" method=\"POST\" >

Thats all I can do without the rest of the code, but it looks like it's
easy to fix ...

Here You go.
It's the quotes around the $_SERVER array index.
Neither '' nor "" will work.

If you want to use the heredoc syntax, use
<form action="$_SERVE R[PHP_SELF]" method="POST">
or just
<form action="$PHP_SE LF" method="POST">
