OT: PHP_SELF

[Joseph Huber]

OT so I'll keep this short and cross my fingers... LAMP set-up, a novice, a 
particular page that I want to display a picture on (and only that  page). 
The following seems reasonable:

<?php
    if ($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] = "/index.php") {
        echo("blah blah blah html to include picture");
    }
?>

seemed reasonable. Only thing is (on the index page) on my box were I test 
everything I'm not finding "/index.php" in the indicated variable. I'm 
getting "/includes/stdMenu.php" which is the path to the script on my test 
box. I plug a <?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?> into the footer that 
appears on every page and upload that to my hosting provider and I get what 
I expect... the path to the page I happen to be looking at: "/index.php" or 
"/news/newsltr0609.php" etc).

I'm thinking this is a configuration issue. Not sure if it's Apache or PHP. 
Can someone point me somewhere... I've been googling for the last couple 
days and nothing I've foud seems to be related to my problem :-(
