different PHP_SELF behaviors

yawnmoth

Say I had the following script:

<?
echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
?>

Lets call this script test.php. On some severs, accessing
/test.php/foobar will yield in /test.php/foobar being displayed while
on others, it'll result in /test.php being displayed. I can't seem to
find anything that all the servers that do display it or all the
servers that don't display it have in common. Any ideas? Is it some
PHP directive or some Apache module or something?

[Is this synchronicity?]

I agree. That sure sounds like the difference between the
cgi.fix_pathinfo settings in php.ini (used when Php runs as a a CGI
binary). I dredged this up while researching a problem with the contents
of the path_info server var only yesterday.
