I'm using a login routine and I'd like to return the user to the page where
they started before going to the login form. I figured I could do this by
grabbing the current page details, putting these into a session variable and
using that to link back to the page later.
So the question is, how do I get the current page's details? I suspect some
might say PHP_SELF contained in the $_SERVER array - is this the best way?

Yuo might find three reasons for a version upgrade:
1) Extended (and needed) functionality
2) Security pathes
3) Support is not given for the version you use

Subject: [PHP-WIN] Not rhetorical: Why upgrade php when current version is
working fine?
So now I'm pondering why should I upgrade when what I had was working
just fine?

I am new to php and I am having problems passing variables from one page to
another. I wrote a simple script as such:
<html>
<head>
<body>
<Form Action="./cgi-bin/insert2.php" METHOD=post>
name <input type="text" name="test" size=20>
<input type=submit name="submit" value="submit!">
</form>
</body>
</html>
then pass to this page:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<?
print ("$test\n");
?>
</body>
</html>
I get this for the response:
Notice: Undefined variable: test in E:\websites\girls\cgi-bin\insert2.php on
line 8
Please help!!

Now I get this error
Notice: Undefined index: test in E:\websites\girls\cgi-bin\insert2.php on
line 7
Could I have installed something wrong? It is running on win2000 server and
IIS 5
