I confess that in my Special page I just load up all the HTML is a single string variable $output and then do
$wgOut->addHTML( $output );
Also, I may be doing something that will break in some browsers, but I thought self was the default for <form method="POST">. I don't bother to send the URL back to the Special page and it seems to work in Safari and Firefox on the Mac, and in whatever browsers my students are using.

Thanks again Jim.
I almost got it working with the following code: http://www.stevefink.net/mediawiki/ldaptools_body.php
My only issue here is with the following line:
$wgOut->addHTML('<form method="POST"action="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'">');
This posts to the page and rewrites the URL as
https://host.foo.com/index.php/$_SERVER%5B%27PHP_SELF%27%5D
and completely breaks my form.
I think if I can get that fixed, my special page will be golden.
Any advice would be appreciated!

Hmm... seems like it should have worked then. But if there's an easier example go for it! I'll take a look at that myself.

MW - 1.9.3 PHP - 5.2.0
I've been referred to take a look at http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/examples/ SpecialIncludable.php?revision=19503&view=markup
Looks simpler to manage for a newcomer to PHP.

What MW/php versions are you using? I didn't have to explicitly include, but I think MW autoloads the classes, which doesn't work in PHP4. That's my handwaving guess - the real experts can confirm or deny.

When writing a SpecialPage, I receive the following error:
PHP Fatal error: Class 'SpecialPage' not found
Do I have to explicitly include SpecialPage.php in my code? It doesn't list it as such in the page listed below by Jim.
