Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-01-23 13:45:31] dave dot marshall at atstsolutions dot co dot uk Description: ------------ Nothing special done when compiling, just --configure and then make. If the webserver couldn't do any path translation, $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] is not populated. If this is desired behaviour, perhaps the documentation should be updated, as existing software will rely on it. ---- Given the code below in router.php, and starting the web server with a router > ~/Downloads/php5.4-201201231230/sapi/cli/php -S localhost:8000 router.php Fetch the root url, NULL returned > curl localhost:8000 NULL Given that this variable is documented, I'd expect it to be string(29) "/home/davem/temp_ws/router.php" Touching a file called index.php, seems to trick the webserver in to thinking it's done a path translation for the root url > touch index.php > curl localhost:8000 string(29) "/home/davem/temp_ws/index.php" Test script: --------------- router.php <?php var_dump($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']); return true; Expected result: ---------------- string(29) "/home/davem/temp_ws/router.php" Actual result: -------------- NULL ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60850&edit=1
