Bug #28227 [Com]: PHP CGI depends upon non-standard SCRIPT_FILENAME

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=28227&edit=1 ID: 28227 Comment by: xsrm0j4w8778b7t at jetable dot org Reported by: lukem at NetBSD dot org Summary: PHP CGI depends upon non-standard SCRIPT_FILENAME Status: No Feedback Type: Bug Package: CGI/CLI related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5CVS, 4CVS (2005-02-04) Assigned To: fmk Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: What if one uses, say php-fpm: how can the absolute path of the script.php be determined? I suppose fpm needs that information to be able to launch the script. I see no way of doing that in a fool-proof manner, based on the CGI 1.1 RFC. Even looking at the current directory is not garanteed to work. RFC says: "The current working directory for the script SHOULD be set to the directory containing the script." Is this the reason why SCRIPT_FILENAME is used?

Then REQUEST_METHOD=GET SCRIPT_FILENAME=ejemplo.php php-cgi ejemplo.php works, and more suprisingly SCRIPT_FILENAME=ejemplo.php php-cgi ejemplo.php works, and SCRIPT_FILENAME=ejemplo.php php-cgi works! Note that there is now an informative-doc RFC for CGI 1.1 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3875 and it says that _name is a MUST, but _filename is optional, in fact it is not mentioned there (it is an Apache extension). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-07-03 01:00:01] php-bugs at lists dot php dot net No feedback was provided for this bug for over a week, so it is being suspended automatically.

That was the reason it was reverted. So far I have not been able to come up with a way to apply your patch so it will work in all cases (not breaking existing installed systems). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
