PHP SCRIPT_NAME and PHP_SELF truncated when inside a userdir and using PATH_INFO

Description

I am evaluating lighttpd 1.4.8 as a replacement for apache2. I have set "broken-scriptfilename" => "enable" in the lighttpd.conf and have set cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1 in the php.ini. I am using PHP 5.1.1, and this is on a PowerBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.4.3.

I have run into this problem: when I have a PHP script in my user directory (with mod_userdir enabled) and I add a path to the end of the script name, then the first 13 characters of the SCRIPT_NAME and PHP_SELF $_SERVER variables are missing.

Example:

If server.php contains this:

<?php print_r($_SERVER); ?>

And I access the script in my user directory like this:

http://fusion.local/~rschmidt/Sites/test/server.php

Then the relevant output is this:

[[SCRIPT_NAME]] => /~rschmidt/Sites/test/server.php
[[PATH_INFO]] =>
[[PHP_SELF]] => /~rschmidt/Sites/test/server.php

This is correct. If I then add a path to it, like so:

http://fusion.local/~rschmidt/Sites/test/server.php/foo

Then the relevant output is this:

[[SCRIPT_NAME]] => tes/test/server.php
[[PATH_INFO]] => /foo
[[PHP_SELF]] => tes/test/server.php

And that's kinda wrong.

Further testing shows it's actually a bit different. Server.php remains as above. mod_userdir is turned off, and instead I set up an alias rule:

alias.url = (

"/r/"  => "/Users/rschmidt/Sites/"

)

Access it this way:

http://test.fusion/r/test/Server.php

The relevant parts of the output are correct:

[[SCRIPT_NAME]] => /r/test/Server.php
[[PATH_INFO]] =>
[[SCRIPT_FILENAME]] => /Users/rschmidt/Sites/test/server.php
[[REQUEST_URI]] => /r/test/Server.php
[[PHP_SELF]] => /r/test/Server.php

But add some path info:

http://test.fusion/r/test/Server.php/

And SCRIPT_NAME and PHP_SELF suddenly contain part of the filesystem path, instead of the web path as they should:

[[SCRIPT_NAME]] => chmidt/Sites/test/server.php
[[PATH_INFO]] => /
[[SCRIPT_FILENAME]] => /Users/rschmidt/Sites/test/server.php
[[REQUEST_URI]] => /r/test/Server.php/
[[PHP_SELF]] => chmidt/Sites/test/server.php

Same here.

lighttpd-1.4.13 (from fc6 extras), php-5.2.1 via fastcgi:

Request $_SERVERSCRIPT_NAME
/~bkw/index.php /~bkw/index.php
/~bkw/index.php/foo kw/public_html/index.php

With apache-2.2 & mod_fcgid SCRIPT_NAME is identical in both requests.

Problem persists in 1.4.16

After some digging, i am afraid this is more a problem in PHP's CGI SAPI rather than a Lighttpd problem.

I have a working patch against php-5.2.3 sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c which i will attach here later.

Problem could also be worked around in Lighttpd by unsetting DOCUMENT_ROOT or setting DOCUMENT_ROOT to the userdir docroot instead of the global server docroot when accessing a userdir, but that will probably break all sorts of other stuff.

Replying to hrak:

I have posted a PHP bugreport at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=42198

From what I have debugged this (see the above bug report at bugs.php.net too :)
I think it's both mod_alias.c and mod_userdir.c which are not setting the con->physical.doc_root in them at all..but I might be totally off the target here. :D

fixed for PHP 5.2.4.

Not entirely. See the php.net bug ticket mentioned above!

Lighttpd still needs some work done to get things like PATH_TRANSLATED correct, and apparently SCRIPT_NAME and PHP_SELF also need to include the path info.

I will attach a patch here against lighttpd-1.4.16 which does the job (after applying lighttpd creates exactly the same env as apache using php-5.2.4), but as Jani says in his last comment in the PHP bug ticket, it may need a slightly different approach.

Can this please be taken into consideration for 1.4.17? Would be nice to have this sorted together with php-5.2.4 :)

Not sure if its ok for me to fiddle with the milestone settings here ;)

The test script:


<?php
    $items = array("PATH_TRANSLATED", "PATH_INFO", "SCRIPT_FILENAME", "SCRIPT_NAME", "PHP_SELF", "REQUEST_URI");
    foreach($items as $item) {
        $value = isset($_SERVER[$item]) ? $_SERVER[$item] : "null";
        header("X-$item: $value");
    }
?>

from my testing all 3 produce the same result. that said i dont see a reason for the patch to mod_fastcgi.

All tests where run on a openSUSE 10.3b2.

PATH_TRANSLATED: /home/jani/t.php/foo/bar/

SCRIPT_NAME: /r/t.php/foo/bar/
PHP_SELF: /r/t.php/foo/bar/

it is said that SCRIPT_NAME should have the same value as PHP_SELF. in my tests with your patch it breaks the PHP_SELF value:

as you see PATH_INFO got duplicated in PHP_SELF.
