Bug description

Any page that uses $_SERVER['PATH_INFO] does not work under Herd because the startup scripts looks for the wrong file name and any path info added after the script marks the page as a Page Not Found

I would expect the PATH_INFO content to be added to the path of the launched page.

Steps to reproduce

Create a test page test.php

<?php

echo $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'];

And launch it as test.php/PATH/INFO/GOES/HERE?param=123

Expected result: PATH/INFO/GOES/HERE printed to page, this is what is printed on any web server (some don't pass the PATH_INFO but it can be obtained).

Obtained result: blank page / page not found. Herd / Valet incorrectly looks for existance of the file test.php/PATH/INFO/GOES/HERE

I have a patch for this and a script that applies the patch to server.php

At the beginning of server.php:

$_SERVER['ORIGINAL_REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$path = parse_url($uri, PHP_URL_PATH);

$needsPatch = (substr($path, -strlen($_SERVER['PATH_INFO'])) == $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']);

if ($needsPatch) {
    $endOfUrl = substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], strlen($path));
    $patchedPath = substr($path, 0, -strlen($_SERVER['PATH_INFO']));
    $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $patchedPath . $endOfUrl;
}

and at the end of server.php, just before the require $frontControllerPath:

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['ORIGINAL_REQUEST_URI'];

This will apply the patch creating two files and adding two lines to the server.php script. Remove .txt from end of file.

Since this issue is about a year old and does not seem to affect many people, I am closing this as stale.
