That's crazy...

You're not doing this inside a function and forgetting:
global $PATH_INFO
are you?

OH -- You also aren't having short_tags off, so <? just goes to the browser
as an uninterpreted HTML tag are you? Use <?php *ALWAYS*.

Most likely, you aren't using Alias and Action properly, and Apache is
looking for a file named "test.php/foo/bar" but can't find it, but knows it
should feed it to PHP, and is getting very confused. What do your Apache
error logs say?
