#21575 [Bgs->Opn]: 4.2x to 4.3 Compatibility issue

ID: 21575 User updated by: ulysses@mail.fitan.com.tw Reported By: ulysses@mail.fitan.com.tw -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: IIS related -Operating System: Any +Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: Well, cgi.fix_pathinfo does not completely solve this problem. By adding this line to php.ini, $PATH_INFO is presented only in CGI mode. However, it is still missing in ISAPI mode. It is indeed a bug, or else they should put a warning message in 4.30 press release or installation document.

Use cgi.fix_pathinfo=0 in 4.3.0 php.ini to solve this problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-18 07:02:44] andrey@cherezov.koenig.su Compare these PhpInfo() outputs: http://php430.eserv.ru/php_info.php/path/info?query http://php423.eserv.ru/php_info.php/path/info?query Same web-server, same php.ini, very different environment variables! (of course, web-server pass the same variables, but 4.3.0 damages them! ;) PATH_INFO disappears in 4.3.0 :( ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-18 06:35:03] andrey@cherezov.koenig.su shane@caraveo.com wrote: >For 4.3, cgi variables were changed to correctly conform to >cgi specs. This means that >PATH_INFO is now in fact PATH_INFO as per: >http://hostname/script_name.php/path/info?query_string You may try this URL url on Win32 web-server with PHP 4.3.0 as CGI and YOU WILL SEE - for this URL PHP will not show PATH_INFO variable, passed to it by web-server! Web-server pass PATH_INFO=/path/info (for this URL), but PhpInfo() in PHP 4.3.0 will NOT show PATH_INFO in the list! All old 4.2.x versions works OK with this case, and previous 4.3.0-dev too, but in 4.3.0 just drop PATH_INFO in any case. This is definitely 4.3.0 BUG. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-13 11:26:28] shane@caraveo.com register globals has nothing to do with this. For 4.3, cgi variables were changed to correctly conform to cgi specs. This means that PATH_INFO is now in fact PATH_INFO as per: http://hostname/script_name.php/path/info?query_string Use SCRIPT_NAME or PHP_SELF if you need to refer to /script_name.php, and use SCRIPT_FILENAME if you need to get the full path to script_name.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-13 06:15:51] wez@php.net In PHP 4.2.0, the 'register_globals' setting default changed to 'off'. See http://www.php.net/release_4_2_0.php for more info. We are sorry about the inconvenience, but this change was a necessary part of our efforts to make PHP scripting more secure and portable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
