This should be:

$path= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

Note the square brackets.

>$file = basename($path, ".php");
>print $file;

You'll also need to escape " in the HTML:

print "<a href=\"index.php\" title=\"studio philosophy\"
>id=\"selectedTopic\">studio philosophy</a>";

or:

print '<a href="index.php" title="studio philosophy"
>id="selectedTopic">studio philosophy</a>';

There should be a } here.
