I want call the current page and set a variable (or call a function)

< a href="index.php?variable=bananas" -this works but means I have to change it for every page name

I have tried

<a href="<? $PHP_SELF(); ?>">this is the link</a>

What's wrong with

<a href="<?php print($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>?name=val">link</a>

By the way, you can't trust PHP_SELF, so you might want to escape or validate that variable. See [1], mentioned recently by Chris Shiflett on this list.
