Description:
------------
For example: http://foo.bar.com/phpinfo.php/some/testing/path

Should report that path info in PATH_INFO and possibly REQUEST_URI among other things. however since php 4.3.2 i believe it seems that this does not seem to work - it always gives a "No input file specified" - but it *used* to work just fine.

This is a CGI binary compiled with:
./configure  --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --enable-track-vars --enable-shmop --with-zlib-dir=/usr --enable-inline-optimization --disable-rpath --disable-debug --disable-ipv6 --enable-cli --enable-fastcgi --with-gd --with-png-dir=/usr --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --without-pear --enable-xslt --with-xslt-sablot=/usr/local --with-msession

I have tried to use --disable-path-info-check as well as --enable-discard-path (some other people logged a variant of this bug/change in "feature") but I do not believe it was ever clearly stated if this is now supposed to function like this (i.e. removing parts of functionality that I had hoped to use.)

Running Zeus 4.2r2, PHP Accelerator 1.3.3r2, PHP versions 4.3.3RC1 and RC3, I believe I also compiled 4.3.2 and 4.2.3 and it changed after 4.2 (I think.)

If this "bug" is closed, please include why it was closed - otherwise I consider this a bug as functionality was lost and I see no reason why it cannot be "fixed" or reimplemented, or why the command line options seem to make it sound like you can turn this on.

--disable-path-info-check
"If this is disabled, paths such as /info.php/test?a=b will fail to work."

The double negatives are confusing. It doesn't work with or without this switch. It makes it sound like you CAN have it work by default and using this switch will disable it...

The error message is thrown around line 1508 of sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c

"if we are unable to open path_translated and we are not running from shell (so fp == NULL), then fail."

Code should be changed or a feature should be added so it overrides that behavior like it used to. It used to ignore everything past the actual file itself - and pass that all as PATH_INFO and such.

Don't use --enable-discard-path and set cgi.fix_pathinfo=1
and it will work just fine. (tested within Apache)
 [2003-08-12 09:19 UTC] phpbugs at mike2k dot com 
i put

cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1

in my php.ini file.

the configure string i used is:

'./configure' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-shmop' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--disable-rpath' '--disable-debug' '--disable-ipv6' '--enable-cli' '--enable-fastcgi' '--with-gd' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--without-pear' '--enable-xslt' '--with-xslt-sablot=/usr/local' '--with-msession' '--disable-path-info-check'

will that disable-path-info-check mess with this?

should i be doing ANY --enable or --disable options to make this work from the configure script command line?

also remember, i am not running apache - i am running php via fastcgi on zeus webserver..

i forgot to say in the note that it DID NOT work putting that in php.ini and restarting it.

This fastcgi mess is for Shane to fix, pure CGI works fine.
