PHP_SELF is empty and is giving me Unable to determine error

[dandick]

I'm getting

 

Unable to determine the page link!

 

I traced this down to PHP_SELF being undefined, and I haven't a clue why.

I see others seem to be running into this, too.

 

Can any of you give me a clue what I might be doing wrong? I have a

feeling I'm missing something really obvious.

 

I see many files call tep_href_link with basename($PHP_SELF), and when

this is blank, this function dies with an error message. So, I stuck in some

debugging stuff to print out the contents of page, $PHP_SELF and other

things, and that's how I determined PHP_SELF wasn't being set.

 

Then I cruised though the functions looking for global $PHP_SELF;

statements. The problem is that although there are a zillion "requires"

and "includes" statements nested, there are no nested function calles at

this time. That is, it goes directly from php web page to a function call

with basename($PHP_SELF) as a parameter, so there's no opportunity to

use a global $PHP_SELF; statement. But, still, this variable ends up dry.

Empty.

 

Any ideas? Thank you so much.

I created a configure.php file in the "includes" directory as follows:

 

<?

 

$PHP_SELF=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

 

define('CONFIGURE_STATUS_COMPLETED', 1);

?>

 

 

I don't know if this is really the "clean" way to do it, but my oscommerce

site came up working just fine afterward.
