Bug #12310 Updated: $SCRIPT_FILENAME

ID: 12310 Updated by: cynic Reported By: michael@frifra.de Status: Bogus Bug Type: Variables related Operating System: WinNT IIS PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: Michael, I think you should devote some time to read the PHP documentation. You're trying to make orange juice from apples. That won't work. Also, next time you think you've found a bug, please check that it's not a PEBKAC. Last, give only accurate, and TRUE!!! info in bug reports. I could easily see that your bug report was bogus, but with something more complicated or subtle, your claim that it works on other machines could mislead a developer, and cost them a lot of their time. I'm sure that would not be your goal. Andi, I didn't get your remark about Linux. The behavior he was seeing is completely platform independent. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-22 20:10:04] andy@php.net Ok... I can't help you anymore. This is totally bogus. The linux thing was a joke, because nothing like this would happen with linux. (*Andy*) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-22 20:08:15] michael@frifra.de If i replace $SCRIPT_FILENAME with $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["SCRIPT_NAME"] the dirname function only returns the path from the inet_root but not from the harddrive root. if i type in the whole path manualy and the inclusion woks, i see that $REQUEST_URI is also empty... so my whole project could not work at my server... I think its a general configuration problem, but what sholud i do? "--By the way, get Linux." -> later... i have no experience with Linux ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-22 19:56:17] andy@php.net Sorry about that... replace $SCRIPT_FILENAME with $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["SCRIPT_NAME"] if that doesn't work, I am stumped. --By the way, get Linux. (*Andy*) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-22 19:53:23] michael@frifra.de If i use: $path=dirname($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]); i get: Warning: Undefined index: SCRIPT_FILENAME ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-22 19:52:52] cynic@php.net PHP doesn't set $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_FILENAME'], but $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_NAME']. this is bogus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
