If you have the root defined in the server { } block and not location { } block then script filename would be automatic in the fastcgi params.

I had to have a SCRIPT_FILENAME manually configured for each vhost which solved the problem. I replicated your config but my scripts were returning a 404 in the error log.

Yes, I’d prefer mod_rewrite over file.php/something too but unfortunately there are still a lot of scripts around that do this, both in Open Source and Proprietary scripts. :(

I do however advise that people concentrate on parsing the REQUEST_URI as opposed to relying on PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED. Most systems now days use mod_rewrite or similar and use the request_uri instead of the older path_info.

I've successfully replicated your setup, and for /php.php/a/path/string/?var=foo I get the same results as you. I do have a question however:What should the expected result be if php.php is in a subfolder, i.e. /folder/php.php/a/path/string/?var=foo?Currently, PATH_TRANSLATED for /php.php/ and /folder/php.php/ is exactly the same, I wonder if this is indeed correct or if /folder/ should go in there too.
