Hi, I read a while back about setting the action to a form as "$php_self" or something similar, and then each time that form was submitted, it would call the page that it came from to process the data.

Then before any output, you put an If ($submit) statement so the page knows to process information if it recieves any.

I want to have a form in an include file, and use the "$php_self" so that upon submitting the form the browser calls that page again.

What is the format for setting the fom action="?????" I can't remember it, and I can't find the page where I saw it.

Thanks

hi luisc,

you can simply use "<form action="<? print $PHP_SELF ?>" method="post">

i think it will work with include files as well

Thanks for getting back to me. It works great now. Even with that form in an include file, the $PHP_SELF variable is address for the top page that called the include file.
