I should have been more clear -- I understand:

[PHP_SELF] => /test.php/foo/bar
[SCRIPT_NAME] => /test.php/

by practice is different.

I should have used basename() in my question.

The main point I was trying to get was which one is more secure and not subject to cross-site scripting or other such security issues? 

IOW, if you had to bet your life on it, which would be most secure in reporting an accurate basename()?

Cheers,

tedd
