Description:
------------
When requesting the document root, the built-in webserver appends
a superfluous and AFAICT erroneous slash to $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].

This does neither happen when the file index.php is requested
directly, nor when a subdirectory is requested.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

var_dump($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);

Expected result:
----------------
string(11) "/index.php/"

Actual result:
--------------
string(10) "/index.php"

I have to correct myself: it always happens when a trailing slash
is appended to the URL.

From what I can tell, this issue is related to the stat() call in
php_cli_server_request_translate_vpath().  While *nix (tested on
Cygwin) returns 0 for an existing directory with a trailing slash,
Windows returns -1 (on Windows the directory separator is properly
changed to backslash).  This bypasses the break on line 1509, and
causes prev_path to be changed to "\", what is later assigned to
request->path_info.

In sapi_cli_server_register_variables() PHP_SELF is finally set by
using the wrong path_info[2].

My knowledge of C is limited, so I'm not able to appropriately fix
the bug; however, I've sent a respective phpt to the QA list[3].

i think this is a duplicate of the slash-bug, reported at
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66191 
sadly the issue was closed without even checking it.

I have just noticed, that the expected and actual results given
above are permuted. That should have been:

Expected result:
----------------
string(10) "/index.php"

Actual result:
--------------
string(11) "/index.php/"

No, the issues are not related. I have filed a feature request
regarding the "trailing slash" redirect (#67027), because I assume
it is futile to add comments to an already closed bug report.

Oh, this is apparently fixed as of PHP 7.0.0.
