As addition to bug report id=3042.
I've viewed the PHP4 sources and see - you're incorrect
interpret the PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED CGI-environment 
variables. They are empty in the most cases of requests,
see samples at http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/examples.html,
but you expected they are contain something to help you
build the path for opening source *.php-file?
It is wrong, IMHO. Path must be constructed
from <CurrentDir><finename_given_in_the_command_line>

If PATH_INFO, PATH_TRANSLATED, doc_root and user_dir are
empty, php.exe failed to open the input source file.
But must open, because these variables are not required
in right CGI. See Perl and PHP3 ;)
