[php-maint] Bug#492739: Bug#492739: $_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'] does not more work

[Ondřej Surý]

severity 492739 normal
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.
