[Mapserver-users] HELP! Bug in PHP 4.3.x ???

[Dylan Keon]

Steve,

This is a known bug in 4.3.x.  Here's the workaround I'm using until 
they get it fixed (there are probably other ways to do this).  Put this 
near the top of your script.

///// Quick fix until the PHP guys fix $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] /////
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] = substr($_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'], 
strlen($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']));

if (substr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], 0, 2) == '//') {
   $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] = substr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], 1);
}

$PHP_SELF = $SCRIPT_NAME = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
