Description:
------------
PHP documentation says cgi.fix_pathinfo  is PHP_INI_ALL, however the code says it is PHP_INI_SYSTEM


Either the manual is wrong or there is a bug in the code ;)


Reproduce code:
---------------
var_dump(ini_set('cgi.fix_pathinfo',1));

Expected result:
----------------
either the old value displayed or the manual fixed ;)

Actual result:
--------------
bool(false) and script not doing what the manual says it should . :-)

Someone needs to figure out if at some point in time this changed or if it has always been _SYSTEM which I'm guessing is the case. Some initial research:

Currently it lives in cgi/cgi_main.c:

http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/php-src/sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c

It was added here and moved from somewhere else:

http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/php-src/sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c?r1=1.302&r2=1.303

Where did it move from? It appears the entry (including the _ALL information) was added to the manual by a commit based off the ini scripts here:

http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/phpdoc/en/appendices/ini.xml?r1=1.24&r2=1.25
http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/phpdoc/scripts/iniupdate/

Whoever tackles this should deal with the other cgi.* ini entries too because they all appear wrong (_ALL vs _SYSTEM). Try running the iniupdate scripts again and see what happens.

Most of cgi... settings work only on request startup befor any PHP code. So changing them in PHP script make no sense.
Since php 5.2.1 such options were made PHP_INI_SYSTEM.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
