$_SERVER[PATH_INFO] not supported by default

Here is what the PHP Manual has to say:

cgi.fix_pathinfo: Provides real PATH_INFO/PATH_TRANSLATED support for CGI. PHP’s previous behaviour was to set PATH_TRANSLATED to SCRIPT_FILENAME, and to not grok what PATH_INFO is. For more information on PATH_INFO, see the cgi specs. Setting this to 1 will cause PHP CGI to fix it’s paths to conform to the spec. A setting of zero causes PHP to behave as before. Default is zero. You should fix your scripts to use SCRIPT_FILENAME rather than PATH_TRANSLATED.

Solution: I became a fan of the PATH_INFO sometime early 2005 and has been using it for some time. But since PHP recommends not to use it anymore, instead of globally enabling it, I am going to modify all scripts to be more compliant to the new way of doing things. But then again, I barely have the time to rewrite everything. And I will just come up with a patch to the problem. thus I am going to use:

$_SERVER[PATH_INFO] =
substr($_SERVER[REQUEST_URI], strlen($_SERVER[PHP_SELF]));
