Description:
------------
PHP has somehow trouble with the GATEWAY_INTERFACE.
I'm using Gentoo's dev-lang/php-5.1.6-r4 package. (Gentoo provides build specs called ebuilds. With these ebuilds portage builds and install the packages)
PHP 5.1.6-pl4-gentoo with Hardening-Patch 0.4.15 (cgi-fcgi) (built: Sep 16 2006 21:56:04)
Copyright (c) 1997-2004 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies

Reproduce code:
---------------
1) take a php script
2) run php-cgi -n -f foobar.php
3) now set the env variable GATEWAY_INTERFACE and run
4) php-cgi -n -f foobar.php again

Expected result:
----------------
PHP should always output HTTP headers with the cgi sapi. When called this GATEWAY_INTERFACE env variable set php behaves right about http headers. However it ends up with No input file specified.

Actual result:
--------------
On the first one PHP does output html code when phpinfo() is called but no http header things are printed.
On the second one PHP does http headers:
Status: 404
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.1.6-pl4-gentoo with Hardening-Patch
Content-type: text/html

No input file specified.

same seems to apply for REQUEST_METHOD

Expected result.
When those variables are declared, SCRIPT_FILENAME and PATH_TRANSLATED are required too.

ah, I understood. However this isn't a bogus as the error mesage is only for those who know that it means.

A more informative error message would be better for admins and developers. I personally run a thttpd webserver on my local machine for testing (just because I didn't set up the big apache yet) and it seems that thttpd (thttpd/2.25b 29dec2003) doesn't set these required env.

You won't get this error message if you don't mess with CGI-related environment variables, which you should not do in the first place.
