Hi,

how can I use the "External PHP Application" plugin? I've created a new directory called "php" inside the s9y directory and copied an index.php into it.

I've set:
Permalink: /index.php?/static/test.html
URL shorthand name: phpname
File to include /is/htdocs/60841/www.mydomain.de/blog//php/index.php

But nothing happens. How can I call this page?

Answering myself: I got this running.

I wanted to add a formmailer script which is running more or less perfect. I've got a simple problem:

Code: Select all

<form class="formular" action="index.php" method="post">

Using the action like above possibly detected errors within the form aren't displayed anymore. When using

Code: Select all

http://localhost/serendipity/index.php?serendipity[subpage]=contact

it works perfectly.

Now, how do I get rid of this long path in the last coding? I've tried to use

Code: Select all

<?php echo $PHP_SELF ; ?>

but the variable is empty!.

Any hints?

Answering meyself agin

I've checked the recommended way to get global vars using

Code: Select all

<h1><?php echo $_SERVER[PHP_SELF] ; ?></h1>

However I got back this path/file:

Code: Select all

/serendipity/index.php

My script is saved into "/serendipity/php/index.php". So the problem still exists: Is there a simple way to get the current loaded file?

Use

Code: Select all

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']
