Hi all, how come when i try a $php\_self on a form action on my localhost it will prompt a errors msg:

You don’t have permission to access /test/\<br /\>\<b\>Notice\</b\>: Undefined variable: PHP\_SELF in \<b\>c:\easyphp1-8\www est\12.php\</b\> on line \<b\>20\</b\>\<br /\> on this server.

But when i upload to the webserver on the www, it work smoothly.

Does it have to do with setting the config file of the php.ini?

There are also errors setting var like $user on a localhost and the form cannot display the $user.

Thanks.
