RESOLVED

The following code is part of my vars.php file:

$path = basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);
$newpath = str_replace('.php','',$path);

When I echo $newpath, it shows me the filename minus the .php at the end, which it's supposed to do. This suggests to me that $path is working as it should, and has picked up the filename.php - right?

(EG. file might be index.php, so $path is index.php and $newpath is index)

So, why is it that when I echo $path, it shows: URL
(source: URL)

..which incidently is the last variable in my vars.php file. What I don't get is why $newpath is worked out okay from what is obviously the right path, but $path echos as something completely different? I can't for the life of me figure out why it's echoing the wrong thing. What am I missing?

EDIT: Even if I remove the $url variable from the vars.php file altogether, echoing $page still echos the crap that WAS in $url. wtf?


vars.php
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$browser = getenv('HTTP_USER_AGENT');
$ref = getenv("HTTP_REFERER");

$path = basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);
$newpath = str_replace('.php','',$path);

$xhtml = "XHTML";
$css = "CSS";
$html = "HTML";
$w3c = "W3C";
$php = "PHP";
$os = "OS";
$path = "URL";
$asap = "ASAP";
$msie = "MSIE";
$ict = "ICT";
$mysql = "MySQL";
$url = "URL";

?>
