    <form action="." method="post"> or <form action="" method="post">
    I came across this statement and I can not figure out what it means although I know what it does.

    Can anyone shed light on this for me?

    Basically it means the form submits to the same page it's on, It doesn't submit to another page to process the information.

    PHP_AELF is a variable that returns the current script being executed. This variable returns the name and path of the current file ( froom the root folder ) . You can use this variable in action field FORM.
