I know this is not your actual code, but did you actually run this? I can't 
see any errors in it and it should work fine if you're using a recent version 
of PHP.

What does print_r($_SERVER) show?
What does print $editFormAction show?

As you're not placing variables inside your print statement you might as well 
use single-quotes:

print '<form action="'.$editFormAction.'" method="post" 
name="ml_form" id="ml_form">'."\n";

This does away with all the backslashes (which gives me a headache).

But if you're going to be using double-quotes then there's no reason to break 
out of it:

> print "<form action=\"".$editFormAction."\" method=\"post\"
