I had trouble with spaces in pathnames. I got round it by surrounding the whole pathname with quotes - an old Windows trick: $s = "'" . $PHP_SELF . "'"; #surround with quotes to allow for spaces in pathname echo "<hr><br> <form action=$s method=post>" . #use quotes [ ...etc ] Not sure if it applies in your case, but if not maybe it'll give you an idea.
