[PHP] Best way to deal with $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] on IIS?
Hi all, Apparently, $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] doesn't get set the same way when running PHP on IIS as when running it on Apache. Specifically, it seems to contain the script name only, and not the query string part. I know I can rewrite my code to piece together a $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] from $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] and $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], but some instances of $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] are in third party scripts which would be a bit of a pain to fix every time they are updated. It is a known problem since there are several mentions and workarounds to be found on the Internet, but I'm wondering which is currently the "best" way to deal with it. I don't personally run PHP with IIS, so I haven't encountered this problem before...but now I have a user who does. I could potentially have more users who encounter the same thing, so the easier the instructions and the less tinkering, the better. Is there a php.ini setting, for instance? What have you found that works for you? Thanks, Mattias -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

What have you found that works for you? Thanks, Mattias It works just fine on the servers where I work. Andrew Thanks Andrew. I just read that there is supposedly a fix for this in FastCGI: http://ruslany.net/2008/08/update-for-iis-70-fastcgi-module/ You might have that update already. If this fix works, then it's obviously the best solution to the problem. Cheers, Mattias -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
