Description:
------------
It seems that HTML_QuickForm_Controller doesn't work with mod_rewrite enabled websites.
My website is using mod_rewrite to do url rewriting like this:

requested url:
http://www.domain.com/value/page

rewrited url:
http://www.domain.com/index.php?v=value&p=page

but since it itsn't possible to specify any action in the constructor of HTML_QuickForm_Page I would like that the action of the form would be _SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] (not PHP_SELF) ... don't know if this is really a bug.
I'm using the latest release of HTML_QuickForm_Controller.
Any help would be appreciated.

Reproduce code:
---------------
No need to post code.

Expected result:
----------------
Form submitted to http://www.domain.com/value/page

Actual result:
--------------
Form submitted to http://www.domain.com/index.php (with no url parameters)

I tried the updateAttributes method, it works until succesful validation of the 1st page, then, when the submit action has been called, the url changes to http://www.domain.com/value/page?_qf_page2_display=true but the page shows always the 1st form

This bug is *not* bogus. If I understand the intent of the action attribute default setting, the objective is to submit the form to the same page. When using URL rewriting, PHP_SELF is not guaranteed to point to anything resembling the page URI. It might point to an invalid URI altogether.

Example:
RewriteRule ^games\/categorylist/ [forbidden]
RewriteRule ^games\/(.+)/ /games/categorylist/?gamescategory=$1 [qsa,last]

When accessing /games/somecategory/, PHP_SELF will be /games/categorylist/index.php while REQUEST_URI will be /games/somecategory/. REQUEST_URI should be used.

Beware that REQUEST_URI contains the query string, which should be stripped before being used as an action. Something like preg_replace('/([^?]*)\?.*/', '\${1}', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])

sergiocarvalho,
updateAttributes() will not help if you call it from the buildForm() method. Try calling it from the code where you create the page object.
