Chances are if you fix just this error by replacing $PHP_SELF with 
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] there will still be other errors like where the 
programmer used $password instead of $_POST['password'].  This is not to 
say you should turn register_globals on, just that it's likely that the 
entire thing was written assuming register_globals was on, so there's 
probably more to fix.
