I use php as a cgi usuing Apache's "Action" directive.  If I put a script in /u/joe/pub/example.php and visit http://joe/example.php/foo then Apache puts /example.php/foo in PATH_INFO, and PHP tries to open /u/joe/pub/example.php/foo.  (Internal server error; premature end of script headers)

This patch checks /u, /u/joe, /u/joe/pub, etc.; if one of them is a regular file (in this case /u/joe/pub/example.php) then that file is used as the script filename.  Now the script runs, with the entire PATH_INFO passed to it.  (It's up to the script to figure out which part to ignore.)
