o.k let me explain where the problem comes from. 

First: As I mentioned before I have my index.php file and placing and replacing
other pages such as contact.php file inside it using a configuration file
which includes an array of pages that I have defined and etc. such as 
$mypages = array("0x12" => "contact.php", etc.)

I have another page at the same level as index.php however it is an independent 
page and I am not including it inside index.php. So this page works just fine when
doing $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

However the problem comes when I do $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; inside other pages
such as contact.php because I am inserting this page inside the index.php file.

after couple of updates I now have the following:

<form name="mycontactForm"  action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?> method="get" > 

HTML source output  action="index.php"

so while my contact.php file is located inside mypages folder one level below index.php what should
I do so the contact form works just fine. 

thanks
