Be careful when using PHP self. Not all servers support it. If you're
planning on using this script over and over on multiple servers you may
find creating a variable is helpful.
$some_variable = "the_script_name.php";
Then, where you would use PHP_SELF just echo (or whatever)
$some_variable. You will have to change it if the script name changes,
but otherwise it's just a relative path.
