Php Rating script error: returns to home page

[FreakinSweetNews.com]

I'm trying to include a php 5 star rating script on the episode guide on my site. Everything seems to work fine, but when I click "rate" after selecting the desired option, instead of refreshing the page, it sends me right back to the homepage.

Example:

Look at the 1st episode here:

http://freakinsweetnews.com/index.php?jump=season1_guide

Here is the code for the rater.php script im using:


<?

// User settings
$rater_ip_voting_restriction = false; // restrict ip address voting (true or false)
$rater_already_rated_msg="You have already rated this item. You were allowed ".$rater_ip_vote_qty." vote(s).";
$rater_not_selected_msg="You have not selected a rating value.";
$rater_thankyou_msg="Thank you for voting.";
$rater_generic_text="this item"; // generic item text
$rater_end_of_line_char="\n"; // may want to change for different operating systems



if(!isset($rater_id)) $rater_id=1;
if(!isset($rater_item_name)) $rater_item_name=$rater_generic_text;


// DO NOT MODIFY BELOW THIS LINE
$rater_filename='item_'.$rater_id.".rating";
$rater_rating=0;
$rater_stars="";
$rater_stars_txt="";
$rater_rating=0;
$rater_votes=0;
$rater_msg="";

// Rating action
if(isset($_REQUEST["rate".$rater_id])){
if(isset($_REQUEST["rating_".$rater_id])){
while(list($key,$val)=each($_REQUEST["rating_".$rater_id])){
$rater_rating=$val;
}
$rater_ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
$rater_file=fopen($rater_filename,"a+");
$rater_str="";
$rater_str = rtrim(fread($rater_file, 1024*8),$rater_end_of_line_char);
if($rater_str!=""){
if($rater_ip_voting_restriction){
$rater_data=explode($rater_end_of_line_char,$rater _str);
$rater_ip_vote_count=0;
foreach($rater_data as $d){
$rater_tmp=explode("|",$d);
$rater_oldip=str_replace($rater_end_of_line_char,"",$rater_tmp[1]);
if($rater_ip==$rater_oldip){
$rater_ip_vote_count++;
}
}
if($rater_ip_vote_count > ($rater_ip_vote_qty - 1)){
$rater_msg=$rater_already_rated_msg;
}else{
fwrite($rater_file,$rater_rating."|".$rater_ip.$rater_end_of_line_char);
$rater_msg=$rater_thankyou_msg;
}
}else{

}

$d=explode("|",$d);
$rater_sum+=$d[0];
}
$rater_rating=number_format(($rater_sum/$rater_votes), 2, '.', '');
}
fclose($rater_file);
}else{
$rater_file=fopen($rater_filename,"w");
fclose($rater_file);

Well the value in $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] is the name of the file for the current page which is index.php and so when the form is submitted that's the page that gets loaded. The querystring on the end of the page display is lost. You'd need to load that into a hidden field called jump to pass that value with the form.
