PATH_TRANSLATED broken? View as Markdown

I think your problem with that comes from the fact, that in PHP4 the apache
sapi module define this variable in the wrong way (mistake of original
programmer). But a lot of scripts depend on that so we did not fix it in
the PHP_4_3 branch. I think there is a former discussion about this in this
mailing list! But PHP5 should follow the CGI spec:
http://www.graphcomp.com/info/specs/cgi11.html

To get your version of the variable it would be better for the scripter to
use $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'].$_SERVER['PATH_INFO']

By the way in PHP4 all other SAPI modules do the translation in the right way.

Hey,

with this URL: http://dru-nl/b.php/1/r/2/1/1
I get back the following server variables (PHP 5.0.0b1, apache 1
module):
'REQUEST_URI' => '/b.php/1/r/2/1/1'
'SCRIPT_NAME' => '/b.php'
'PATH_INFO' => '/1/r/2/1/1'
'PATH_TRANSLATED' => '/home/httpd/html/dru/modules/user/1/r/2/1/1'
'PHP_SELF' => '/b.php/1/r/2/1/1'

Shouldn't PATH_TRANSLATED be?
'PATH_TRANSLATED' => '/home/httpd/html/dru/modules/user/b.php/1/r/2/1/1'

regards,
Derick
