Description:
------------
After updating to version 4.3.3 dirname() is not working properly (or the same as in 4.3.0 at least).

dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) does not give directory path.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?

echo dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);

?>

Expected result:
----------------
/test 

Actual result:
--------------
\

What SAPI are you using? (what webserver?)
What does 'echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];' output?

The test webserver I am running it on is xitami.

redirect.php is my file which generates the error, the url for that file is -
http://localhost/test/redirect.php
So it should output- /test

in 4.3.0
'echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; 

outputs- /test

so that is correct, but

in 4.3.3
'echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; 

outputs- \

This seems to be just specific to the xitami server because I just finished testing it on IIS and it works.

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. Because of this, we hope you add your comments
to the existing bug instead.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

See bug #25448
