Description:
------------
On the page describing $_SERVER the paragraph about 'PATH_TRANSLATED' relates it to 'PATH_INFO'. But this 'PATH_INFO' key isn't documented anywhere in the PHP manual.

Please add a description of $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] on the page http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php

Although we don't document every possible environment variable, we may as well document this one because we mention it in a few places and even have the cgi.fix_pathinfo directive.

And also document ORIG_PATH_INFO while solving this bug.

Log: Document PATH_INFO (at least, the basics).
Partially addresses bug #46820, although more information on the
history of PATH_INFO is needed. And ORIG_PATH_INFO remains to be
documented.

Log: Document ORIG_PATH_INFO (bug #46820)

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
