I see they return identical results. Is there a reason you think
SCRIPT_NAME is better? I'm willing to listen, though I've been using
PHP_SELF for many years.

http://us3.php.net/reserved.variables

'PHP_SELF'
The filename of the currently executing script, relative to the document
root. 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.

'SCRIPT_NAME'
Contains the current script's path. This is useful for pages which need
to point to themselves. The __FILE__ constant contains the full path and
filename of the current (i.e. included) file.
