#21575 [Com]: 4.2x to 4.3 Compatibility issue

ID: 21575 Comment by: flight553 at yahoo dot com Reported By: ulysses at mail dot fitan dot com dot tw Status: Closed Bug Type: IIS related Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: I can reproduce this bug on Linux running Apache 1.3.27 and PHP 4.3.1 as a cgi at: http://amulder.modwest.com/inf.php/2/ where sending the last '/2/' to set a PATH_INFO variable actually causes an internal server error. If you just go to http://amulder.modwest.com/inf.php then you will get the normal PHP output. The contents of that file is just: #!/usr/local/bin/php-4.3.1 <? phpinfo(); ?> Under PHP 4.2.3 running as a cgi, this problem does not happen, as shown at: http://amulder.modwest.com/inf.php/2/ http://amulder.modwest.com/inf.php The contents of that file is just: <? phpinfo(); ?> Therefore, I think this bug is not fixed.

Is this on purpouse or did the fix get lost somewhere? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-26 19:32:31] ulysses at mail dot fitan dot com dot tw Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-25 16:32:38] shane@php.net This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/. In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED conform to the CGI spec in PHP 4.3. For linux (and possibly other platforms) a fix was requried which is now in CVS (fixes PHP_SELF also). The fix in CVS also creates ORIG_PATH_INFO and ORIG_PATH_TRANSLATED so you can easily fix scripts dependent on the previous incorrect variables. ISAPI has always had broken PATH_INFO/PATH_TRANSLATED, and this was not changed in 4.3, but will be fixed for 5.0. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-20 21:32:31] ulysses at mail dot fitan dot com dot tw 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-20 18:55:05] andrey at cherezov dot koenig dot su See bug http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=21716 Thanks to Milky! Use cgi.fix_pathinfo=0 in 4.3.0 php.ini to solve this problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
