This is a good way of doing it, however with the viral nature of 
mod_rewrite spreading everywhere, I personally do it using 
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] instead.

I did it this way in my pathfinder() function that gets used for 
navigation on most chunks of my site. For the very fact that using 
PHP_SELF did not work if the path you wanted was really the mod_rewrite 
version. You can view the full code for my pathfinder() code at the
