$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']

[Patrick Roane <fojomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to execute my php code from w/in the same
page as my form. I've done this before, but recently
i've been getting some parse errors.

Is there a certain way of writing the following so it
works with my form?

For example, do I use:

action="<?php print $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>

or,

action="{' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '}">

Currently, the error I get is:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in
c:\wamp\www\php_excercises\grabfile.php on line 13

My code is below:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data"
name="frmUploadFile" action="<?PHP echo $me;?>"> 
 

<?php
   <form method="post" action="<?php print
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>">
   /*   action="{' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '}">   */
   
?>
