Just so there's no confusion, with double quoted strings, you can do it one
of two ways.
echo "The value is {$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}";
or
echo "The value is $_SERVER[PHP_SELF]";
Neither is any more right than the other. You can always end the string and
concatinate the variable, too...
echo "The value is " . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
In that case, you should always use quotes around the key, single or double,
doesn't matter much.
