Not sure of the classification of this one, or even the summary at this point.  Pres2 uses PATH_INFO to calculate what presentation/slide to show with a URL something like:

http://myserver/pres2/show.php/mypresentation/1

This worked with PHP 4.3.2 RC1 but I just installed PHP 4.3.2 final and now I get "No input file specified.".

I've hacked pres2 to use query strings instead, which works fine.  Is this a configuration issue?  I changed nothing in my php.ini between rc1 and the final version.

Oh, and register_globals in On because pres2 needs it.

create a script called pathinfo.php at your web root with the following contents:

<? echo $_SERVER["PATH_INFO"]; ?>

and open this with

http://localhost/pathinfo.php/my/path

in PHP 4.3.2 RC1 (up to RC4 I think) this would result in a page containing:

my/path

with the release version of PHP 4.3.2, this returns:

No input file specified.

winxp, apache 1.3.26.  No changes to httpd.conf or php.ini between the RC and final.

I noticed also on the main php website,

http://www.php.net/in_array

this should search the documentation for in_array and redirect to the in_array page, but it returns an error.  I think this is caused by the same error.

Does not work, seems like some late bugfix broke this then..

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

cgi.fix_pathinfo=1 in php.ini fixes this.  4.3.2 was changed to default to cgi.fix_pathinfo=0 as that fixes BC for the majority of apps that were written prior.
