(it's nice to see a question of yours I can answer - I've learned a lot
from you :-) ).

$PHP_SELF only works if you have register_globals enabled in your
php.ini (a VERY BAD idea). You should be using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']
instead.

From your later posting it seems $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] is working. So I
suspect your old server had register_globals enabled but your new one
doesn't.
