$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']

This is the filename of the currently executing script, relative to the document root. However, unlike $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], it provides additional path information like $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] when the actual php file is present in the path. So when the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] is /index.php/big/directory/ then $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] will be

Code:

 /index.php/big/directory/.

However if all the URI's under http://www.example.com/ is mapped to http://www.example.com/index.php, then, for example, http://www.example.com/abc/def will return

Code:

/index.php

like $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']. Note that $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] data is ignored for this request.
