New Comment:
why hasn't this been fixed? is there a real problem with fixing it?
i'm faced with a bug report against the busybox web server that i'd
rather not fix, given that the problem is clearly a php problem.

it took me many hours of poking around to finally find this page to
figure out why php isn't working under the httpd server provided under
busybox. php is clearly doing the wrong thing with respect to the cgi
specification. SCRIPT_FILENAME is not a standard header and can not be
relied on to function.

I ran into this exact same issue with php4-cgi (ver 4.3.11) on FreeBSD
due to the SCRIPT_FILENAME problem. I found two ways to avoid the
non-standard CGI var is to hack the http server used (mini_httpd) or
use LukeM's modifications to php4. Considering that CGI is a standards
based domain, modification of the webserver to support non-standard CGI
variables is not proper, thus the modification to PHP itself is the
solution. I found that the the LukeM modification still allows for
proper execution in apache.
Can somebody in the php team fix this please?

The provided patch was not correct, according to Frank. Assigning to
him for now.

This bug is still present in 4.3.10 as well.
Note that NetBSD's pkgsrc system has been using the patch I provided
for a few months now, and we haven't received any reports of problems
with PHP with that patch when running as a:
* php.so module under Apache
* php CGI under Apache
* php CGI under web servers that don't support the non-standard
SCRIPT_FILENAME
Please consider applying this patch, because without it PHP is useless
as a CGI except under Apache & IIS.
