This would return an image with the text after "image.php/" contained in it.

I could not recall the name of this feature, so I made a work-around in PHP...

<?       
       
function getPathVariables() {
        $sPathPS = $_SERVER[PHP_SELF];
        $sPathFS = __FILE__;

        $aPathPS = array_reverse(explode("/", $sPathPS));
        $aPathFS = array_reverse(explode("/", $sPathFS));

        $aImageArgs = array();
        $x = 0;

        while ( $aPathPS[$x] != $aPathFS[$x] && $aPathPS[$x] != $aPathFS[0] ) {
                array_unshift($aImageArgs, $aPathPS[$x])        ;
                $x++;
        }
        return $aImageArgs;

}
?>

This function will return an array containing each "/" delimited portion of the path after the script name itself.

Note that $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] behaves differently under IIS/Apache.

In Apache (at least on Windows) it is ALWAYS set - if no query string was specified in the URL, $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] is initialised as an empty string.

In IIS, if no query string is included in the URL, $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] is NOT SET, so trying to access it without checking for its existence will generate notices.

If you want to make a copy of $BLOBALS (e.g. to test whether which tariables were changed during script-runtime,
<?php $___debug_var_dump = $GLOBALS; ?>
will _NOT_ make a copy in PHP4 (tested with 4.3.11). Use
<?php $___debug_var_dump = array_merge($GLOBALS, array()); ?> instead, but ONLY for testing purpose.

How to get $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] on IIS (WinXP):

if ( empty($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) ) {
   $arr = explode("/", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
   $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $arr[count($arr)-1];
}

A note about the QUERY_STRING variable when using IIS:

I have found that IIS does not handle large query strings gracefully when passed from PHP. In addition to truncating them to around 1024 kb, I have seen IIS actually add data from other server variables to the end of the truncated data.
