I am unable to pass pathinfo to my script while using php in cgi mode.

The problem in particular (maybe you all know of a workaround) is I'm trying to create a download script.  While using PHP in cgi mode I can't get Netscape and IE to assign the download the proper name...

A possible solution could be a path_info translation something like:

http://www/cgi-bin/php/scriptdir/script.php3;/path_infoToPassToScript

Let me know what you think...

P.S.  The PHP base library is awesome and I wouldn't mind seeing future versions of PHP having the DB abstraction libraries that the PHP base library offers built in.

Please try latest CVS snapshot from http://snaps.php.net/
as this should be fixed. Reopen if this is not the case.

This is *not* fixed, and shouldn't be closed. Having the exact same problem on Linux, using PHP 4.2.1 in CGI mode.
