No webserver involved at all. Of course PHP has control over them all when running using the CLI sapi (excluding of course any brought in from the environment...) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-11-26 23:55:14] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The docs should be modified to reflect the fact that all server variables except PHP_SELF, argc and argv are set by the web server and PHP has absolutely no control over their values. While Apache sets them to one thing, another server may set them to another, and there may be differences between the server module version and the CGI interface to any of these web servers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-11-26 23:50:28] skissane at ics dot mq dot edu dot au Description: ------------ According to the documentation: 'SCRIPT_FILENAME' The absolute pathname of the currently executing script. But, when I do 'echo $_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]', using PHP-CLI, I get a pathname relative to the current directory. So either the docs are wrong, or the code is buggy (suggest that documented behaviour is more useful than actual behaviour, hence code should be changed.) (Despite what the form forced me to say above, I'm actually using 4.3.4RC1, not 4.3.4, but I hope it makes no difference. Apologies if it does.) Reproduce code: --------------- Make a directory called foo, under $HOME. Put this file as test.php in $HOME: <? echo $_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"] . "\n"; Now cd to $HOME Execute: php foo/test.php Expected result: ---------------- <path to your home directory>/foo/test.php Actual result: -------------- foo/test.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26429&edit=1
