The docs says that $PHP_SELF contains "The filename of the currently executing script, relative to the document root." However, if one uses additional PATH_INFO data in the URL, they get inserted on $PHP_SELF as well.

Example script: <?= $PHP_SELF ?>

http://example.org/example.php
	prints "/example.php"

http://example.org/example.php/foobar.html
	prints "/example.php/foobar.html"

If this is not a bug in PHP then the docs may need to be updated.

Type = Documentation Problem.

When test.php is a script, $PHP_SELF === /test.php/some_string
http://example.com/test.php/some_string

Document should descript this behavior..
