Well dad-burnit - I use that all the time but never thought that it 
could be used this way.  Flawlessly right...and this side of solving 
world hunger.  Thanks.

For instance, $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] in a script at the address http://example.com/test.php/foo.bar  would be /test.php/foo.bar. The __FILE__  constant contains the full path and filename of the current (i.e. included) file.   If PHP is running as a command-line processor this variable contains the script name since PHP 4.3.0. Previously it was not available.
