I can't get this piece of code to work -> $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] <-

I'm trying to run a very simple script to test the "action=echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];" in a HTML form (with php start and end on it but this site doesn't allow me to introduce those chars). This is the script:

<?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { echo "it works"; } ?>

<form name="test" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"> 
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Form">

Problem is whenever I hit the submit button I get a "Safari can't find the file" error stating that "no file exists at the address" where I run the script.

What am I doing wrong here?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Eduardo

You don't need to set the action attribute of the form, if you want to post data to the same page. 

<form name="test" method="post"> 
  ...
  <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Form" />
</form>

should do it.

Cheers!

Try using $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] instead of $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']. I think you are using mod_rewrite and that's why it cannot find the file.
