I'm freaking out now ...

Like I had before....

<form method="post" action="<?PHP echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">

appears in a LOT of my code.

is it now crucial to switch this to:

<form method="post" action="<?PHP echo basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); 
?>">

Is there any circumstance which could keep me from having to switch all 
this code?
