Have the following configuration.
php 5.2.0
apache 2.2.4


The following submission, before I did a major upgrade back in
February, worked fine with localhost,
and will still work fine in a server enviornment,anything from jatol,
to godaddy.

.....
<form name='fmSubmittal' method='post' action="<?php
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
<table border='3'>

<tr><td colspan='4' align='center'><button type='submit'
value='SUBMIT' name='sub1'>SUBMIT</button><button type='reset'
value='reset' name='res'>Reset</button></tr>

if (isset($sub1)) { //$CommA is the submit button
session_register('chosen');
include 'autunite/dConn.php';
include 'autunite/Ser.php';
$szInterests=sizeOf($Int);
echo "# of interests is, $szInterests or sizeOf($Int)";

.....

BUT, when developing on my local machine (localhost), I get the
following message when submitting a form, using the variable action
above. $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']


Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /dt/< on this server.

Starting with "?php... " makes the Forbidden error go away, but
doesn't process the form. (yes, I included some of the variables in
session_register). The series of code, however, processes. Not even
that echo, echoes like it is supposed to.


putting <?= in front results in the same FORBIDDEN error, with the
http line reading,
http://localhost/dt/%3C?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];%20?%3E

Is there a change in either the httpd file or php.ini, I'm missing?
It worked fine before the overhaul, and might of, even after it.



Everything works, as expected, on the server side. But don't want to
upload small changes every time to see if it works, lol.

any ideas????
