Sure, you can find the complete on geocrawler:

[...]

The problems are all in the init_request_info() function. Specifically,

1. ~Line 252. script_filename is set to getenv("SCRIPT_FILENAME") rather than
getenv("SCRIPT_NAME"). Maybe SCRIPT_FILENAME is a newer variant I haven`t heard
of, but our servers have always used SCRIPT_NAME.

2. ~Line 278. If DISCARD_PATH is set and script_filename is available,
SG(request_info).path_translated should be set to the concatenation of
getenv("DOCUMENT_ROOT") and script_filename, not just script_filename.
Otherwise, when php_fopen_primary_script() tries to open it it will bomb,
because it doesn`t have the full path.

3. ~Line 290. For some reason, irrespective of the previous DISCARD_PATH
section, SG(request_info).path_translated is set to NULL. This will clobber
the script name when discard path is enabled. As far as I can tell this
line should simply be removed.

I don't really know, I'd like it to behave like PHP3 :)
(in fact, like Perl, Python, etc.)

Maybe I can print out the different related variables like path_translated, etc.
to see what goes wrong, is there a special PHP debug function that can print out
these or should I use printf() ?
