[PHP-DEV] RE: [PHP] PHP / NSAPI / Web server support From: Aki Hakkila (aki.hakkila <email protected>)

[Cc to php-dev -list just in case there's someone more familiar with NSAPI]

Now that you got it compiled and running, could you make a simple test,
please? This is regarding
http://bugs.php.net/bugs.php?id=7163

The bug report is about includes, but I've got similar weird error messages
when requesting a missing file. I think the problem is that NES/iPlanet
doesn't check if the requested file exists. When you make a request, NES
just forwards the request to the php module. That's why you get 'in Unknown
at line 0.'

Warning: Failed opening
'/export/home/www/azc/htdocs/class/emp/searchresults.php' for inclusion
(include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0

I made the following changes to php4_execute in nsapi.c, all suggestions are
welcome:

--
int NSAPI_PUBLIC
php4_execute(pblock *pb, Session *sn, Request *rq)
{
         int retval;
         nsapi_request_context *request_context;

+        struct stat *statinfo = request_stat_path(NULL, rq);
+        char *path = pblock_findval("path", rq->vars);

         SLS_FETCH();

+        /* check that the requested file exists or return Not Found */
+        if (statinfo == NULL) {
+          log_error(LOG_WARN, "php-execute", sn, rq,
+                    "Could not open file: %s (%s)", path, system_errmsg());
+          protocol_status(sn, rq, PROTOCOL_NOT_FOUND, NULL);
+          return REQ_ABORTED;
+        }

         request_context = (nsapi_request_context
...

There's yet another problem. If you intend to use software virtual servers,
you may get some weird "Not Found" errors. nsapi_request_ctor uses
request_translate_uri to get the path to the requested file. The correct
path can already be found in rq -parameter block (that is, it has been
translated according to all the NameTrans directives in obj.conf). It seems
that if you make a new translation at this point, it doesn't handle those
directives correctly and uses that NES-instance's main document root.

You need to use
char *path_translated = pblock_findval("path", NSG(rq)->vars);

instead of
char *path_translated = NULL;
...
if (uri != NULL)
     path_translated = request_translate_uri(uri, NSG(sn));
