Yes. This means that $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] is there but you
are accessing it in a wrong way. Look for typo or something
like that (or maybe you forgot to "echo" it).

You may also want to change your level of error reporting by
placing "error_reporting( E_ALL );" in the first line of your
script (only for debug, in production this can be a bit dangerous
because info comming from error messages can be used by attackers).
