BetterPHP

When I am using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] I am able to get things like http://website.com/foo.php/bar fine but I want to do something like http://website.com/bar , when really it is running through index.php and registering it with $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] instead of looking for a directory.

Is this possible, and if so, how to I do it?

$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] is a huge security risk, but that's not the point I guess. PHP_SELF looks for the file itself so it is not possible.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the way I am using it is not so much a security risk. I am not storing or really using it for any sensitive data I am just doings things like.

if($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] === 'foo.php/device'){
// hard coded echo
echo 'I think you might be looking for the device section!';
}

I really don't see anyway that could be exploited

Yeah there is no security risk in using it like that. But based on what you are doing it might be better to look at mod_rewrite http://www.workingwith.me.uk/articles/s ... od_rewrite
