Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64951&edit=1 ID: 64951 Updated by: ab@php.net Reported by: a dot panek at brainsware dot org Summary: SCRIPT_NAME acts strange -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Built-in web server Operating System: Linux & Windows PHP Version: 5.4.15 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: ab Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Using the router script in the command line is the same as using mod_rewrite with apache, basically something like this RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/hellou$ /hello.php [L] is equivalent to php -S localhost:8080 -t. hello.php With this, requesting /hellou under apache will result $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] => /hellou __FILE__ => full path to hello.php If you ommit the router script, you'll get the apache behaviour without mod_rewrite. To do so, in your example php -S localhost:8080 -t. The current document root will be like a normal htdocs with apache.

This is useful for pages which need to point to themselves. The __FILE__ constant contains the full path and filename of the current (i.e. included) file." So basically the built-in server doesn't act as documented except when you use a file called "index.php" as router script and don't use a file extension in your URI. I tested this on Linux and Windows resulting in the exact same behaviour. Test script: --------------- <?php # index.php # # php -S localhost:8080 -t. index.php # # curl -i -X GET -H 'Accept: application/json' localhost:8080/something.json # -> '/something.json' # curl -i -X GET -H 'Accept: application/json' localhost:8080/something # -> '/index.php # # php -S localhost:8080 -t. test.php # -> always the uri echo $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']; ?> Expected result: ---------------- /index.php Actual result: -------------- /something.json ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64951&edit=1
