> Now that code would create a button at the end of the table row that should call the php file "edit.php" however when I go to the webpage the button links to "names.php" which is the name of the file that contains this code.  I do have references to $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] in the code in other places to call the script itself if certain buttons are pressed but I don't see how that could have interfered.  It is blowing my mind because I thought it would be a simple thing to fix but I can't figure it out.  I even moved the form echo statements to a test file on the server and it does not do this at all.
