As far as I know, there are no ill effects from doing this; I do it
all the time. In the FORM tag, I can then use something like
action="$PHP_SELF"
or
action=$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF']
(I have the top form on a PHP3-based setup).
On the occasion when I need to redirect the user to another page
(after a successful login or registration), I can use a
header("Location: somewhere.else/to/go.html")
line.
