server has problems with php self

Is there any other way to reload a page apart from PHP_SELF ? as my server
seems to refuse to have anything to do with it at all!
I know this is a bit of a newbie question but so far I'm running up against
a massive brick wall with a file upload script I am working on.
thanks in advance.

You didn't mention how you're currently going about it, so I'm assuming
you're having a form submitting to itself, and the simple answer would
be, just leave the form action empty; by default it submits to itself.

eg:

#test.php

<form method=post action="">
<input type="hidden" name="f_hidden" value="voila!">
<input type="submit">
</form>

<?php

echo $_POST["f_hidden"];

?>

Hope that helps,

Anthony.

This solution was allready discussed on this group, but I'll remind the fact
s:
"action" attribute in "form" tag is required and when it's missing, then
the browser decides how to inteprete it (some will not treat it as a valid
form, some will, but still they may respond differently).

How do you use PHP_SELF? How does the server "refuse to have anything to do
with it"?

You might want to take a look at:

related predefined constant:
__FILE__

related predefined variables:
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] - this differs from __FILE__ !! (try in included files)
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']
$_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED']
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']
