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. First of all, thanks for sharing this!
