I thought that since it would be inside of geeklog there would be something special based on geeklog
that depends on what exactly you are entering into the form and where you want it to go or to accomplish later... if it is, for example, additional user info or something like that, then you will have to involve gl code for things like UID and access info, etc.
for a static page how could I make the form link back to itself, $PHP_SELF was what I assumed and that does not work
php_self gives you a path relative to the doc root so try $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']
