Is there a compelling reason to use either REQUEST_URI or SCRIPT_NAME

came from (the script parses whether or not there is a Submit to know
if it should display the form or the results). I need a portable
solution, that is why I am not hardcoding it. Also, the users _may_
save the form to their hard drives, so simply leaving the action blank
will not do.

I know that REQUEST_URI includes the ?variable=value string and that
SCRIPT_NAME does not. This form does not depend upon get variables, so
this should never be an issue, but I ask here anyway to know if there
are other differences that I did not account for.

Thanks!

Dotan:

Maybe this is too simple, but what I do is to leave the form attribute action="" blank.

My understanding (may be wrong) is that forms always submit to themselves unless directed to do so otherwise.

Cheers,
