PATH_TRANSLATED doesn't work correctly !!!

I'm trying to use the clasic CGI environment varable PATH_TRANSLATED via Apache's Action directive (directing all requests through a script). But PHP messes PATH_TRANSLATED up and all I end up with a copy of SCRIPT_FILENAME ! I'm using PHP 4.0.3pl1 on a standard Debian 2.2r2 installation with Apache httpd 1.3.9 with these directives in httpd.conf: Options +MultiViews Action text/html /script.php A resuest for "/index" should result in: PATH_TRANSLATED = /path/to/index.html PATH_TRANSLATED = /path/to/index.en.html (for the English version) PATH_TRANSLATED = /path/to/index.X.html (for the X version) BUT what I get is: PATH_TRANSLATED = /path/to/script.php (no matter what i request !) Can anyone help me getting the real Apache PATH_TRANSLATED (which is actualy shown in phpinfo() under "Apache Environment" but not under "PHP Variables") Yours hopefully Heino H. Gehlsen
