I compiled Apache 2.0.43 and PHP 4.3.0 from source as a DSO.

When using the internal PHP apache_lookup_uri(), it always returns status 200.

<?php 
$f = apache_lookup_uri("/abcdef");
echo $f->status;
echo $f->the_request;
?>

I always get 200, and the URI of the PHP file in which it is enclosed.

Does anyone know the apache API??? I dug through the source, but I don't know much about the Apache filter chains and the linkage of the request structures. I'll try to look further when I get a chance, but if anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

I've played with this some more. I'm beginning to feel that this is a documentation problem. Neither the Apache or PHP docs say so, but is this just a parsing function that never actually does a stat(2) on the underlying file? 

I got the impression from the code for virtual() in php-4.3.0/sapi/apache2filter that it did more, but perhaps it is a misunderstanding on my part.

This is probably a closable entry in your bug database...sorry.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

apache_lookup_uri() is a very simple wrapper around Apache 2's own ap_sub_req_lookup_uri() function. Any bugs that you encounter while using that function are in Apache 2 and not PHP.
