There seems to be a problem with the values of $PATH_TRANSLATED under different circumstances :-

In your Apache document_root create the following files :-

.htaccess
AddHandler testhandler .test
Action testhandler handler.phtml

handler.phtml
<? print "PATH_TRANSLATED = $PATH_TRANSLATED"; ?>

index.test
Content not used

You will need AllowOverride All (or similar) in the Directory spec for your Apache document root (to all adding handlers).

Here is a list of requests and responses

http://localhost/index.test -
    PATH_TRANSLATED = /home/httpd/html/handler.phtml (Incorrect)
http://localhost/handler.phtml -
    PATH_TRANSLATED = /home/httpd/html/handler.phtml (Correct)
http://localhost/index.test/path_info -
    PATH_TRANSLATED = /home/httpd/html/handler.phtml (Incorrect)
http://localhost/handler.phtml/path_info -
    PATH_TRANSLATED = /home/httpd/html/handler.phtml (Incorrect)

The reason I have put incorrect for 3 of the tests is that the value differs from the value of PATH_TRANSLATED that Apache provides.  PHP just copies the value of SCRIPT_FILENAME over the top of PATH_TRANSLATED.  Please find attached a patch to make to responses the same as Apache's version of PATH_TRANSLATED.

http://localhost/index.test -
    PATH_TRANSLATED = /home/httpd/html/index.test (Correct)
http://localhost/handler.phtml -
    PATH_TRANSLATED = /home/httpd/html/handler.phtml (Correct)
http://localhost/index.test/path_info -
    PATH_TRANSLATED = /home/httpd/html/index.test/path_info (Correct)
http://localhost/handler.phtml/path_info -
    PATH_TRANSLATED = /home/httpd/html/path_info (Incorrect)

Not really sure whats going on with the last test - bug in Apache.  There is also a pretty big bug in Apache when doing these type of tests from a public_html (~user) type of directory.
