self_url() returns the query string - why?

[Thomas Friedrich]

Hello.

In my app I have a php script that performs differently with different query strings, for example adding an "?action=<todo>" jumps to various subroutines. These subroutines call the script itself afterwards to show the default state after an action is performed.

Using the function "self_url()" I found that it calls the script again with the same action parameters. What is this good for?

As a workaround I added the function

function self_curl() # stand for clean url
{
  global $PHP_SELF;
  return $this->url($PHP_SELF);
}

Wouldn't it be a good idea to include this in the next release? I don't think that I am the only one who needs this functionality.

Regards
Thomas
