Hello.

I have PHP version 5.1.2. I am wondering why $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] is not an environmental variable. PATH_INFO still works fine in Perl, but not in PHP.

Has anyone seen any documentation about this? I'd really like to have this variable available to use!

You can use
Code:
<?php
pathinfo('/folder/file.html');
?>

I think it was removed becuase it had something to do with $_SERVER['translated_path']

Thanks for the help, abyssisthebest. I'm researching pathinfo().

I found a way to get around the lack of $_SERVER[PATH_INFO].

Here is code that will display everything in the URL after the actual requested page (equivalent PATH_INFO and QUERY_STRING):
Code:
echo substr($_SERVER[REQUEST_URI], strlen($_SERVER[PHP_SELF]));


Examples:
Requested Page --> /index.htm/testing
Code result --> /testing

Requested Page --> /index.htm/testing.gif?12345
Code result --> /testing.gif?12345

pkSML,

It's because PHP does not conform to CGI by default and requires that the script path is passed to it in PATH_INFO. That's by the way why you are instructed to configure the PHP interpreter type to be set to "PHP Style".

To enable PATH_INFO, you'd have to set php.ini accordingly (there are parameters there to enable it to work in a CGI conformant way) and set the interpreter type in Abyss Web Server to "Standard".

So... how is it done?

I'm trying to install gallery and I would really appreciate if somebody could post a method to do the path_info variable an environmental one.

Thanks :wink:

Please forgive my ignorance, I've already set the interpreter to "Standard" but I can't find a way to enable it to work in a CGI conformant way, do I have to force the redirection (cgi.force_redirect) or what?

I've googled the problem and I came up with a non working line of code: cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1

Any help would be very appreciated

Thanks :)

That's the parameter that you should set in php.ini to make it work conforming to the CGI specification. Why do you say it is not working? What tests have you done?

I've installed gallery (http://gallery.menalto.com/), it has a built in function to check if path info is installed, I'm kinda new to all this php stuff so please bear with me.

Is this supported in previous versions to X2? If not I'm not going to waste your time, I think that i'm gonna buy it, Abyss web server is the best one I've ever seen, even better than apache, it's easier to customize and it's very flexible.

We'll give that script a try and see what it checks for path_info. But please send us a reminder if you do not get a response after 48 hours.

We're not sure what you mean by "Is this supported in previous versions to X2?". Languages support and all the features work the same on X1 and X2 except multiple site hosting and bandwidth throttling.

The feature you're referring to 'path_info on PHP' is not something we can fix on our side, it's something related to PHP and its configuration (other languages get their path_info variable without any problem, only PHP needs a special mode because of its unconformance to the specifications).

Thank you for your positive feedback about Abyss Web Server. We're glad reading that you plan to upgrade to the professional edition X2.
