Bug #1669: using path info data in an URL chokes PHP on WinNT/Apache

From: gordon+phpbug@vip.fi Operating system: Windows NT (4.0SP5) PHP version: 3.0.11 PHP Bug Type: Installation problem Bug description: using path info data in an URL chokes PHP on WinNT/Apache On Windows NT with PHP 3.0.11 on Apache 1.3.6 when using an URL with path info data, PHP chokes and tells that it could not open the input file. like this: http://localhost/test.phtml/path/info/is/here The path info data should go into the PATH_INFO variable (on Unix versions the path info is parsed correctly from the URL). I am sure that this has to do with the way PHP has to be installed on WinNT (ScriptAliasing etc.) so there might not be a solution. This is not a bug per se, but relevant to some developers (e.g. someone might be using PATH_INFO instead of using HTTP GET variables to keep track of states etc.).
