$ SERVER['PHP SELF'] error

$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] returns physical location not the url

I am trying to install a calendar program on my server but $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] is returning the wrong information. It is returning "D:\Sever\www\calendar\install\index.php" instead of "http://localhost/calendar/install/index.php" It is important to get it to return the correct variable so that the install script will work.

$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] should return a relative path to the document root, so in your case:
"/calendar/install/index.php"

What does $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"] return? What webserver are you running?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, jb_sulli.

As was stated, you are likely using the incorrect $_SERVER index. Remember you can always dump the $_SERVER [php.net] variable to the browser to have a look at what is available ...

<pre> 
<?php 
print_r($_SERVER); 
>? 
</pre>
