Description:
------------
I cannot get PATH_INFO working on Windows XP/IIS so I can show pages like this:

http://localhost/myapp/login.php/ADMIN

Changes to php.ini

doc_root = "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot"
cgi.force_redirect = 0
cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1

I have tried different values with these three config options and none work. I have already applied the configuration to get IIS to accept path info:
adsutil set w3svc/AllowPathInfoForScriptMappings True

The Error:
Warning: Unknown(c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ADMIN): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

It appears php does not like to call my login script and prefers to instead run the imaginary script path_info "ADMIN" thats on my doc_root

NOTE: 
- Im using the windows binaries, compiling php with --enable-path-info-check may help - if its not already I hope this is the default with the windows binaries

- I have tried IIS with php CGI and isapi no joy.

- This setup works with apache and therefore solutions beginning with "Just use apache" are entertaining, they are not very helpful.


Expected result:
----------------
run my login.php script with the appropriate PATH_INFO variables fixed

Actual result:
--------------
The Error:
Warning: Unknown(c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ADMIN): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

You say "no longer works", meaning it worked before? In what version? 

You said it works with Apache, so why do you think it's some bug in PHP but not some configuration issue within IIS??
(the error message looks like it is IIS which isn't passing the right information to PHP..)

>>You say "no longer works", meaning it worked before? In what version?

Ok all was good with the last version of php I used 4.3.0 CGI

>>why do you think it's some bug in PHP

Because the error message is generated by php - which means IIS is doing its job of "finding" the script (login.php) and passing it to the php handler

I was told IIS does not support this.

IIS supports this fine you just have to add a config entry by running:

adsutil set w3svc/AllowPathInfoForScriptMappings True

as explained in: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q184320
