[SOLVED] PATH_TRANSLATED and APACHE 2.X

[ainoy31]

Is there any way to get $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PATH_TRANSLATED'] to work with the apache 2.0 filter like it does with the cgi?  I have searched the web and some suggest going back to using apache 1.3.x.  Others suggest using 'SCRIPT_FILENAME' but no luck.

 

$WEB_ROOT = substr(ereg_replace("[\x5c\]"."[\x5c]","\x5c",$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PATH_TRANSLATED']), 0 , -strlen( $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_NAME']));

 

Much appreciation.  AM

The PHP manual has this to say about it:

 

'PATH_TRANSLATED'

    Filesystem- (not document root-) based path to the current script, after the server has done any virtual-to-real mapping.

 

        Note: As of PHP 4.3.2, PATH_TRANSLATED is no longer set implicitly under the Apache 2 SAPI in contrast to the situation in Apache 1, where it's set to the same value as the SCRIPT_FILENAME server variable when it's not populated by Apache. This change was made to comply with the CGI specification that PATH_TRANSLATED should only exist if PATH_INFO is defined. Apache 2 users may use AcceptPathInfo = On inside httpd.conf to define PATH_INFO.

 

Also, please note that $HTTP_SERVER_VARS is deprecated in place of $_SERVER.

I have tried this in the httpd.conf file:

 

<Files ~ "\.php$">   

AcceptPathInfo On 

</Files>

 

No luck.  My page crashes.  Thanks.  AM

I have also tried just AcceptPathInfo on and no luck

Sorry.  This is for my last comment.  The AcceptPathInfo on goes in the httpd.conf file.

If anyone is interested, here is the solution to the apache 2 and PATH_TRANSLATED issue.

 

I created a file called jushack.php with the content of:

<?   
if (strlen($JDOCROOT = @getenv("JDOCROOT")))   
{     
$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] = $JDOCROOT;     
apache_setenv("DOCUMENT_ROOT", $JDOCROOT, 1);   
}    
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PATH_TRANSLATED'] = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_FILENAME'];  
?>

Save this file to your webroot.  Then in the file httpd-vhosts.conf of apache I added these lines of code:

 

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@**the url of the website goes here like mywebsite.com
DocumentRoot c:/core/webhosts/mywebsite.com/htdocs/
<Directory />
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
php_value auto_prepend_file "/core/webhosts/jushack.php"
ServerName mywebsite.com
ServerAlias mywebsite.com
</VirtualHost>

 

Hope is helps some of you guys out.
