#21154 [Opn]: $_SERVER[PHP_SELF] empty in cgi

ID: 21154 User updated by: george@omniti.com Reported By: george@omniti.com Status: Open Bug Type: Other web server Operating System: mac osx PHP Version: 4.3.0RC4 New Comment: Doesn't make sense to me. Even if not PHP_SELF, then at least SCRIPT_FILE or SCRIPT_FILENAME (both also blank) should be defined. These are certainly well-defined in any context. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-23 10:19:00] philip@php.net Why does CLI have all of these? Why is PHP_SELF empty as opposed to not existing at all? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-23 05:25:55] wez@php.net CGI needs specific environmental variables to be set in order to determine PHP_SELF. Running from the command line does not (usually) have the environment set up as described in the CGI spec, and that is the reason it's missing. If you think about it, it makes sense; how can it determine the relative path to the root of the web server when it is not actually running under a web server? http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php#reserved.variables.globals States: " 'PHP_SELF' The filename of the currently executing script, relative to the document root. For instance, $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] in a script at the address http://example.com/test.php/foo.bar would be /test.php/foo.bar. If PHP is running as a command-line processor, this variable is not available. " So I'm marking this report as bogus (nothing personal!). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-22 21:36:14] george@omniti.com I should note that the cgi and cli are both being run by hand from a shell (not exec'd from a webserver). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-22 21:31:12] george@omniti.com <?php print_r($_SERVER); ?> returns: 22:28:26(george@ool-18bced28)[~/Advanced PHP/examples]> php a.php Content-type: text/html X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.0-dev Array ( [HOME] => /Users/george [SHELL] => /bin/tcsh [USER] => george [LANG] => en [PATH] => /sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/Users/george/ bin:/usr/sbin:/opt/GN Upgcc/bin:/opt/GNUxemacs/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/ sbin:/usr/openwin/bin:/us r/dt/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/proc/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/X11R6/ bin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:.:/ usr/X11R6/bin [__CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING] => 0x1F5:0:0 [TERM] => vt100 [PWD] => /Users/george/Advanced PHP/examples [HOSTTYPE] => macintosh [VENDOR] => apple [OSTYPE] => darwin [MACHTYPE] => powerpc [SHLVL] => 1 [LOGNAME] => george [GROUP] => staff [HOST] => ool-18bced28.dyn.optonline.net [HOSTTAG] => maya [Omniti/mobile] [MANPATH] => /usr/share/man:/usr/openwin/share/man:/ usr/man:/usr/local/man:/ opt/SUNWwabi/man:/usr/local/lib/perl5/man:/opt/GNUpgcc/ man:/opt/GNUxemacs/man [INFOPATH] => /sw/share/info:/sw/info:/usr/local/share/ info:/usr/local/lib/i nfo:/usr/local/info:/usr/share/info [PERL5LIB] => /sw/lib/perl5 [EDITOR] => vi [VISUAL] => vi [DISPLAY] => :0.0 [CVS_RSH] => ssh [OPENWINHOME] => /usr/openwin [XFILESEARCHPATH] => /usr/dt/lib/%T/%N%S [XGLHOME] => /opt/SUNWits/Graphics-sw/xgl [LD_LIBRARY_PATH] => /usr/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/ lib:/usr/ucblib:/usr/ local/lib:.
