RE: Script ID?

So sorry Tedd,

	I was typing away with the rest of that and after hitting send I
notice all I sent was the define.

define('PAGE_1', 1);
I use define because sometimes I want o know what script included another
and if that script does not have a defined value I do not allow it to run.
Just be careful I noticed with integers it will fail to hold the value if it
has a leading zero.

Subject:  Script ID?

Hi gang:

Okay, so,what's the "best" (i.e., most secure) way for your script to 
identify itself *IF* you plan on using that information later, such 
as the value in an action attribute in a form?

For example, I was using:

$self = basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);

<form name="my_form" action="<?php echo($self); ?>" method="post" >

However, that was susceptible to XSS.

http://www.mc2design.com/blog/php_self-safe-alternatives

says a simple action="#" would work.

But is there a better way?

What would do you do solve this?

Cheers,

tedd
