#39277 [Fbk->Opn]: php-cgi does not parse command line arguments when running under Apache

ID: 39277 User updated by: nisoi at mail dot ru Reported By: nisoi at mail dot ru -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: CGI related Operating System: FreeBsd 6.1 PHP Version: 4.4.4 New Comment: Well, you are right. Please forgive me for this. But if so, then there is another... ehhm.. inconvenience. It is impossible to set custom php.ini via .htaccess for some directory. When I use in .htaccess: SetEnv PHPRC /home/user/public_html/ and if I redirect all *.php requests to /home/http/php4-cgi (which is just a symlink to php-cgi), Apache renames PHPRC to REDIRECT_PHPRC, because requests are redirected to another script. Thus, php does not recognize this variable and uses default /usr/local/etc/php.ini. Of course, I can use a sh script instead of /home/http/php4-cgi, and export PHPRC there. This works. But there is absolutely unnecessary sh process in this case. As a workaround, php could either recognize REDIRECT_PHPRC, or use -C argument in command line while working in CGI mode.

It's extremely easy to show: # export SERVER_SOFTWARE=1 # ./sapi/cgi/php -i Status: 404 X-Powered-By: PHP/5.1.2 Content-type: text/html No input file specified. # unset SERVER_SOFTWARE # ./sapi/cgi/php -i X-Powered-By: PHP/5.1.2 Content-type: text/html <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC .......... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-11 12:21:30] nisoi at mail dot ru But PHP-5.1.2-CGI does interpret command line arguments while running under Apache. Also, php-4.4.2-cgi (not php-cli!) interprets these arguments while running from command line. Is this expected behavior too? I mean, all three ways PHP-cgis work cannot be correct at the same time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-11 00:52:55] tony2001@php.net Expected behaviour. PHP CGI doesn't use commandline parameters when run in CGI mode (but it does use them when run in console mode). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-10-31 12:17:21] nisoi at mail dot ru I just tested this issue under Gentoo Linux. Same things happen: PHP does not pay any attention to command line arguments passed to php-cgi running under Apache. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-10-27 11:02:42] nisoi at mail dot ru Description: ------------ PHP-4.4.4-cgi does not parse command line arguments when run under Apache (but parses it when run from shell). Php5 works fine in same situation. I run php-4.4.4 as cgi under Apache/1.3.34. All requests for *.php are redirected to php-cgi with Action php-script /cgi-bin/php4 /cgi-bin/php4 looks like this: === /cgi-bin/php4 ==> #!/usr/local/php4/bin/php-cgi -c/home/scrtest/www/site1/public_html/php-c.ini <== /cgi-bin/php4 === But phpinfo() says that it is using default config from /usr/local/php4/etc/php-cgi.ini. No other arguments are working: neither "-n", neither "-h", nor anything. Even this trick: === /cgi-bin/php4 ==> #!/bin/sh /usr/local/php4/bin/php-cgi -c/home/scrtest/www/site1/public_html/php-c.ini <== /cgi-bin/php4 === does not make php-cgi to take it's arguments. When I run same command from shell, php-cgi parses it's arguments correctly. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php phpinfo(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Want to see /home/scrtest/www/site1/public_html/php-c.ini as configuration file. Actual result: -------------- See /usr/local/php4/etc/php-cgi.ini as configuration file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39277&edit=1
