#22116 [Opn->Fbk]: PHP_SELF gives wrong info

ID: 22116 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: russ@iris.washington.edu -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Variables related Operating System: Solaris 2.7 sparc PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-07 16:33:24] russ@iris.washington.edu I was able to use this workaround: $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] = substr($_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'], strlen($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'])); if (substr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], 0, 2) == '//') { $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] = substr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], 1); } to fix an invalid PHP_SELF on Solaris 2.7 Sparc, PHP 4.3.0 . Simply doing phpinfo(); and then appending the value of PHP_SELF onto an 'ls ' statement yielded "no such file". The file did not exist: $ ls /~russ/tryseed/showSeed.phtml /~russ/tryseed/showSeed.phtml: No such file or directory The clue here is this: I was running out of a "pubic_html" subdirectory off of ~russ (see above). The URL typed into IE 5.2 (Mac OS X) was: "http://hostname/~russ/tryseed/showSeed.html" ** I have other pages on same web server, same PHP which are hosted out of the server's normal root directory and they don't have this problem. ** --Thank you to whoever came up with that workaround above. I just put similar text as a COMMENT on a CLOSED linux Bug #21261. This needs to be considered OPEN AFAIK. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22116&edit=1
