Summary: $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] doesn't accept single quote in
filename
Status: Bogus
Type: Feature/Change Request
Package: PHP options/info functions
Operating System: Linux
PHP Version: 5.3.2

testi.cgi
Many thanks for your answer. In fact I tested an URL adding "that's it"
in the pathinfo using a perl standard cgi and a php script on the same
server. The perl script output the single quote but the php script
changed it to a question mark:
testi.cgi:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<p>PATH_INFO=".$ENV{"PATH_INFO"}."</p>\n";
URL http://myweb/cgi-bin/testi.cgi/that's it
outputs:
PATH_INFO = /that's it
which is correct.
PHP phpinfoi.php script:
<?php
echo "PATH_INFO=".$SERVER['PATH_INFO']."<p/>\n";
URL: http://myweb/w/phpinfoi.php/that's it
outputs
PATH_INFO=/that?s it
which is wrong.
I suspect a defect in the apache php module. And you?

PHP gets the value of PATH_INFO from the Web server, so it's much more
likely to be a problem there.

this

Description:
------------
$_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] doesn't return single quote in filename.
Although single quote in filenames were used frequently in French while
using mediawiki server. But in recent versions of mediawiki (svn) we can
upload images or pdf files having quotes in their name, like "Rapport
d'activité.pdf" but we can't retrieve any more because the
$_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] is returning a question mark instead of a quote
"/6/6e/Rapport_d?activité.pdf". It has been working for years and now
it says "Access denied, you must log in".
It doesn't affect all wiki servers but only servers where access to
files is granted via the img_auth.php (which means that only logged
users can access to uploaded images).
The orginal code of img_auth.php was:
$path = $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'];
$filename = realpath( $wgUploadDirectory . $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] );
wfDebugLog( 'img_auth', "\$path is {$path}" );
and the log output contains a question mark instead of the quote.
I decided to patch by replacing the question mark with a single quote:
$path = preg_replace('/\?/','\'', $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']);
and it works but it is not very clean.
What is wrong with having single quote in the PATH_INFO as long as
filenames can have single quote?
Many thanks for any information.
