New Comment:
it took me many hours of poking around to finally find this page to
figure out why php isn't working under the httpd server provided under
busybox. php is clearly doing the wrong thing with respect to the cgi
specification. SCRIPT_FILENAME is not a standard header and can not be
relied on to function.

I ran into this exact same issue with php4-cgi (ver 4.3.11) on FreeBSD
due to the SCRIPT_FILENAME problem. I found two ways to avoid the
non-standard CGI var is to hack the http server used (mini_httpd) or
use LukeM's modifications to php4. Considering that CGI is a standards
based domain, modification of the webserver to support non-standard CGI
variables is not proper, thus the modification to PHP itself is the
solution. I found that the the LukeM modification still allows for
proper execution in apache.
Can somebody in the php team fix this please?

The provided patch was not correct, according to Frank. Assigning to
him for now.

This bug is still present in 4.3.10 as well.
Note that NetBSD's pkgsrc system has been using the patch I provided
for a few months now, and we haven't received any reports of problems
with PHP with that patch when running as a:
* php.so module under Apache
* php CGI under Apache
* php CGI under web servers that don't support the non-standard
SCRIPT_FILENAME
Please consider applying this patch, because without it PHP is useless
as a CGI except under Apache & IIS.

Problem still exists in PHP-5.0.2 on SunOS

The current code does not rely on script_filename, script_filename is
only used as a shortcut if it is available. Otherwise, the init
function tries to determine the real script path, IF the fix_pathinfo
ini setting is on. The current code was only tested under apache and
iis.
That said, the patch looks ok, and very likely improves the situation,
but needs some good testing on apache/mod_php, apache/cgi, iis/isapi
and iis/cgi, with various changes of configuration in php.ini (discard
path, fix pathinfo, etc.). Unfortunately I have zero time.
