question about PHP_SELF and SCRIPT_NAME

[yong]

i look some codes like :

 

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

 

when i test in my computer like

 

<?php

var_dump($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
var_dump($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);

?>

 

is was print :string(14) "/test/demo.php" string(12) "/php/php.exe";

 

just like you see the both are not same.

 

so i want to know ...why?

 

why the $_server['script_name'] and the $_server['php_self'] are different?

 

thinks..

[MadTechie]

'PHP_SELF' = The filename of the currently executing script, relative to the document root

If PHP is running as a command-line processor this variable contains the script name since PHP 4.3.0. Previously it was not available.

 

'SCRIPT_NAME' = Contains the current script's path

[yong]

yeah ,but in my opinion ,the script's path is "/test/demo.php"

 

but the $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] is print "/php/php.exe".

 

so it's wrong,i think.

No, its a "bug" in php when installed as CGI.
