PHP_SELF (quick question..)

[knoak]

Hi there,

I know the code $PHP_SELF to find out
the name of a file itself. Only if you
include a file with $PHP_SELF in it, it takes
the name of the parent-file.

How do i get the name of the actual file...

Hope this is clear enough.

echo __FILE__;

of course, you could also check:

print_r($_SERVE R);

for any relavent entries.

And if you just want the filename without the directory path etc
echo basename(__FILE __);

It's me again:

If i get this right, this would be a waterproof way to protect
pages that are meant to be included from being viewed 'unauthorized':

$page=basename( $PHP_SELF);
$file=basename( __FILE__);
if ($page==$file){ header('Locatio n: http://domain.com/');}

Is that correct?

Thanks again and greetings..
