Debian Bug report logs - #492739
$_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'] does not more work

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Package: php5
Version: 5.2.0-8+etch10
Severity: important

Hello Maintainer,

while under Sarge with  php4  $_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED']  was  working
properly and also under php5 on the Gentoo VHost of my ISP, but it does
not work on my recently installed Etch Server @home.

My whole site with all its nearly 200 VHosts is ONLY a singel /index.php
and the contents is generated based on $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] but since
I need the physical path, my website is entirely broken.

Note:   The path to the /index.php is
            /var/www/customers/konzack/sites/index.php
        and $_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'] returns "/" which is wrong.

Please can you look at it?

The code sniplet from the beginning of the /index.php is:

----[ '/var/www/customers/konzack/sites/index.php' ]--------------------
<?php

$MY_PATH=dirname(dirname($_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"]));

$MY_CONFIG="$MY_PATH/HOST_" . $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"];

if ( is_file($MY_CONFIG) ) {
  include $MY_CONFIG;
} else {
  header("Content-Type: text/plain");
  die("Config for host \"$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]\" not found.\n($MY_CONFIG)");
}
<snip>
------------------------------------------------------------------------

And currently I have hardcoded the $MY_PATH which  is  not  the  optimal
solution since it can be forgotten.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening

thank you

From http://us2.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php:

"""    Note:  As of PHP 4.3.2, PATH_TRANSLATED is no longer set
implicitly under the Apache 2 SAPI in contrast to the situation in
Apache 1, where it's set to the same value as the SCRIPT_FILENAME
server variable when it's not populated by Apache. This change was
made to comply with the CGI specification that PATH_TRANSLATED should
only exist if PATH_INFO is defined.   Apache 2 users may use
AcceptPathInfo = On inside httpd.conf to define PATH_INFO.  """

So did you do your homework properly before filling this bug report
and have you read the docs and is PATH_INFO defined in your
environment?

Ondrej.

Thank you for reporting, but I'm afraid that this is not a bug.

It's even documented near the top of the PHP5 migration manual's list of 
incompatible changes:
| * PATH_TRANSLATED server variable is no longer set implicitly under Apache2
| SAPI in contrast to the situation in PHP 4, where it is set to the same
| value as the SCRIPT_FILENAME server variable when it is not populated by
| Apache. This change was made to comply with the » CGI specification. Please
| refer to » bug #23610 for further information, and see also the 
| $_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'] description in the manual. This issue also
| affects PHP versions >= 4.3.2.

Use $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']

cheers,
Thijs

OK, my Hosting Provider has set "AcceptPathInfo = On" which was  missing
on my own servers.  ANd yes, I have read the documentation, but updating
over 600 server (from customers) and reading over  3000  pages  documen-
tation for changes between Sarge and Etch is definitivly to much...

Sorry that I have bothered you.

Note:   Interesting is, that my "php5" book is only  speeking  about
        SCRIP_NAME which give under some circumstands weird  results
        while SCRIPT_FILENAME is not mentioned...

I have set "AcceptPathInfo On" in my VHost

----8<------------------------------------------------------------------

and restarted Apache but it does not work.

$_SERVER[PATH_INFO] and $_SERVER[PATH_TRANSLATED] return  empty  strings
and in

    /doc/apache2-doc/manual/mod/core.html#acceptpathinfo

it is written:

----8<------------------------------------------------------------------
This directive controls whether requests that contain trailing pathname
information that follows an actual filename (or non-existent file in an
existing directory) will be accepted or rejected. The trailing pathname
information can be made available to scripts in the PATH_INFO
environment variable.

For example, assume the location /test/ points to a directory that
contains only the single file here.html. Then requests for
/test/here.html/more and /test/nothere.html/more both collect /more as
PATH_INFO.

The three possible arguments for the AcceptPathInfo directive are:

Off    A request will only be accepted if it maps to a literal path that
       exists. Therefore a request with trailing pathname information
       after the true filename such as /test/here.html/more in the above
       example will return a 404 NOT FOUND error.
On     A request will be accepted if a leading path component maps to a
       file that exists. The above example /test/here.html/more will be
        accepted if /test/here.html maps to a valid file.
----8<------------------------------------------------------------------

So why ist the VARIABLE always empty?

For example I have

    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html /DirIndex.php

and if I enter an empty directory like

    /debian-devel/pool/main/

it execute /DirIndex.php and should generate a Directory Listing but:

    PATH_INFO		<empty>
    PATH_TANSLATED	<empty>
    SCRIPT_NAME		/DirIndex.php
    SCRIPT_FILENAME	/var/www/net.tamay-dogan.debian.devel/htdocs/DirIndex.php

But the URL show me /debian-devel/pool/main/

I have read it but nothing is working.  Any hints?
