ID: 28227 Comment by: shane at caraveo dot com Reported By: lukem at NetBSD dot org Status: Assigned Bug Type: CGI related Operating System: NetBSD 2.0C PHP Version: 4.3.6 Assigned To: shane New Comment:
The current code does not rely on script_filename, script_filename is only used as a shortcut if it is available. Otherwise, the init function tries to determine the real script path, IF the fix_pathinfo ini setting is on. The current code was only tested under apache and iis. That said, the patch looks ok, and very likely improves the situation, but needs some good testing on apache/mod_php, apache/cgi, iis/isapi and iis/cgi, with various changes of configuration in php.ini (discard path, fix pathinfo, etc.). Unfortunately I have zero time. -Shane Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-03 11:59:41] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Shane, can you please take a look when you have a moment? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-03 04:25:48] lukem at NetBSD dot org Here's the patch: http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/~checkout~/pkgsrc/www/php4/patches/patch-aa?rev=1.10&content-type=text/plain ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-30 02:11:47] lukem at NetBSD dot org Description: ------------ I upgraded PHP from 4.2.3 to 4.3.6 and I started getting the error "No input file specified." from the php-as-cgi whilst running under a (fairly minimal and small) web server called bozohttpd. Further investigation reveals that sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c::init_request_info() is using the existance of SCRIPT_FILENAME to determine if php is running as a CGI. However, the "defacto standard" for CGI/1.1: http://cgi-spec.golux.com/ makes no mention of SCRIPT_FILENAME, only SCRIPT_NAME. Thus, when a web server that is used to run php as a CGI doesn't support SCRIPT_FILENAME (which is reasonable - see the specs above), php refuses to function and fails with the error above. Some research into other web servers indicates that none of them support SCRIPT_FILENAME. These servers include: thttpd, mini_httpd, w3c-httpd, OmniHTTPd - (PHP PR 25833), Xitami (PHP PR 25305) This issue is also alluded to in the "command line" documentation on your web site: http://www.php.net/features.commandline (search for "no input file"). In summary, PHP 4.3.6 should not be relying solely upon SCRIPT_FILENAME to determine if it's running as a CGI. I have a patch to fix this issue - rev 1.10 of NetBSD's pkgsrc/www/php4/patches/patch-aa - which I can provide if necessary. Cheers, Luke Mewburn. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28227&edit=1
