Hi,

I had to generate a new bug report, since a bug in your bug tracking system prevented me from editing the original one.

between version 4.0.4 and 4.0.5 the setting of the PATH_TRANSLATED variable changed. In version
4.0.4, the following URL

http://www1.jobpilot.de/test.phtml/bla/fasel

resulted in the following PATH_TRANSLATED value:

/JobsAdverts/OnlineServer/web/de/test.phtml

(which is the correct script file name).

ever since 4.0.5, the same URL results in the following value:

/JobsAdverts/OnlineServer/web/de/bla/fasel

which does not look right. According to the documentation, PATH_TRANSLATED is the "Filesystem- (not document root-) based path to the current script, after the server has done any virtual-to-real mapping. "

BTW. the documentation should make it clear what is the difference between PATH_TRANSLATED and SCRIPT_FILENAME - from to the current explanation, I don't understand it.

BTW we are using Apache 1.3.23.

Best Regards,

Arno Schaefer

I could be wrong, but I would think that it is the job of Apache to set that variable. The CGI documentation I've read says that the job of setting enviromental variables like that when executing a cgi is the responsiblity of the web server.

Not a PHP problem, but an Apache one.
