  Using DOCUMENT_ROOT in FastCGI environment Reply Contact One of the lacking things about FastCGI is not being able to use <?php echo $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"];?> Afaik this is because PHP can't request the document_root, because the PHP CGI is already resident in memory. Will this be addressed, or is this behaviour by design? Alex Schoenmaker, SoHosted Platform: Windows Server 2003 (SP2), IIS6, PHP4 and PHP5.

  Re: Using DOCUMENT_ROOT in FastCGI environment Reply Contact Alex, We are probably missing certain variables that other PHP hosts may be providing (per http://us2.php.net/reserved.variables, the $_SERVER variable contains a list of web server specific variables, standardized only by the original CGI specification which doesn't mention the DOCUMENT_ROOT variable).  This is something we will address in a future release.  Do you have any pointers (aside from the link above) as to what variables are typically supported?

  Re: Using DOCUMENT_ROOT in FastCGI environment Reply Contact No Mike, sorry. All I know is that document_root requests the homedir that has been setup per website in IIS6. This does work in php4isapi.dll. The reason I ask about this is because it would make migrating from ISAPI to FastCGI alot easier when hosting a huge amounth of domains. -- People wouldn't have to change their existing scripts.

  Re: Using DOCUMENT_ROOT in FastCGI environment Reply Contact The link refers to PHP_AUTH_USER which makes sense for PHP.  A more generic term is more common in other frameworks I think.  AUTH_USER is what I would expect to use in RubyOnRails, and I think IIS already provides this variable when using NTLM authentication.  Making sure that this AUTH_USER is available in the FastCGI environment then, would be appreciated. -- My blog: http://galtzo.blogspot.com
