Description:
------------
I'm using Aprelium's Abyss Web Server and PHP 5.
When I try to open a url like script.php/test.html
$PATH_INFO is not set, irregardless of whether register globals is set on or off.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
	header("Content-type: text/html");
	if (isset($PATH_INFO)) print("$PATH_INFO");
	else print("Not set");
?>

Expected result:
----------------
/test.html

Actual result:
--------------
Not set

PATH_INFO only exists "beyond" the script concerned. Your script is not showing any info because you have no path.

Try typing the follwing url into your browser:

http://whatever.your.host.is/test.html/blah/bling/blee

You will see that the $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] consists of:

"/blah/bling/blee" and nothing else.

To get the whole path string, use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] instead.

PATH_INFO is not supported by all web servers.
