that’s why you use the basename function (as clearly inidcated in the example)
basename( $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] )

so “echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] will output something like
/www/htdocs/index.php
whereas “echo basename ( $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ) will output
index.php

basename() is a built-in PHP function…

I wanted to leave this comment in the htaccess bit, but I couldn't find the comment form. I just want to thank you for the piece of code in the htaccess you have! I finally got it working without throwing a 500 internal server error! My friend has been puzzled as to why the code she gave me kept doing that! Thank you so much! Hi!

"echo basename( $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] )" and "echo basename( __FILE__ )" can return the same results or entirely different results. why? __FILE__ always refers to the file ITSELF -- whether it is included or not whereas PHP_SELF always refers to the "parent" file (the one doing the including). you can memorize it like this --> (P)HP_SELF = (P)arent and __FILE__ = __child for more details, check this URL where i've set up an example: http://abdstudios.net/examples/dirname-basename/ i hope my studies to understand this can help everyone else :) actually…
