4.3.0 don't pass PATH_INFO env.variable to script (php in CGI mode under Windows 2000). 4.2.3, 4.2.2 and all previous work with PATH_INFO without problems.

Also 4.3.0 changes SCRIPT_NAME so script receives not the same string as passed by WebServer! Also 4.2.x not have this problem.

That topic not solved this bug!! PHP 4.3.0 in CGI mode (php.exe) under Win32 NEVER shows PATH_INFO to script. Even if web-server have passed it according CGI-specs, like http://host/script.php/path/info. Just try - you'll unable to get PATH_INFO from 4.3.0.

You may try this URL url on Win32 web-server with PHP 4.3.0 as CGI and YOU WILL SEE - for this URL PHP will not show PATH_INFO variable, passed to it by web-server! Web-server pass PATH_INFO=/path/info (for this URL), but PhpInfo() in PHP 4.3.0 will NOT show PATH_INFO in the list! All old 4.2.x versions works OK with this case, and previous 4.3.0-dev too, but in 4.3.0 just drop PATH_INFO in any case. This is definitely 4.3.0 BUG.

Compare these PhpInfo() outputs:

http://php430.eserv.ru/php_info.php/path/info?query
http://php423.eserv.ru/php_info.php/path/info?query

Same web-server, same php.ini, very different environment variables! (of course, web-server pass the same variables, but 4.3.0 damages them! ;) PATH_INFO disappears in 4.3.0 :(

Someone introduced a "workaround" for webservers (Apache)
which hand over a wrong PATH_INFO. This behaviour however
hurts all others then (Nanoweb).

cgi.fix_pathinfo=0

in the php.ini seems to fix it
don't know if it helps with the other CGI variables

Thank you, Milky! This helps!

This is even worse in 4.3.1, the whole thing Internal Server Errors -- PHP exits with an error code of 255 after attempting to OPEN (according to strace) whatever you gave it in the pathinfo.  When a file is created it opens and runs that file instead of the CGI script.

I tried it with IIS 5.0 but still failed with
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:
