> In php4.1.1 it worked fine. Now I changed the first function to: > $PATH_INFO = $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]; (was $PATH_INFO in 4.1.1) $PATH_INFO worked fine because register_globals was on which essentially created $PHP_INFO from $_SERVER['PHP_INFO'] so how about you do this: if (!ini_get('register_globals')) { extract($HTTP_SERVER_VARS); } So if register_globals = off, $PHP_INFO will exist as will all web server predefined variables, like $DOCUMENT_ROOT. If you are unsure what predefined variable to use, make a call to phpinfo() and it'll show you exactly what is available to the script. And print_r() will also be helpful for various activities too.
