+== Known Problems ==
+
+    17 March 2004 
+
+A solution to the problem below is to edit php.ini:
+
+{{{
+ # cgi.fix_pathinfo provides *real* PATH_INFO/PATH_TRANSLATED support for CGI.  PHP's
+ # previous behaviour was to set PATH_TRANSLATED to SCRIPT_FILENAME, and to not grok
+ # what PATH_INFO is.  For more information on PATH_INFO, see the cgi specs.  Setting
+ # this to 1 will cause PHP CGI to fix it's paths to conform to the spec.  A setting
+ # of zero causes PHP to behave as before.  Default is zero.  You should fix your scripts
+ # to use SCRIPT_FILENAME rather than PATH_TRANSLATED.
+ cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1 
+}}}
+

+
+          o Sometimes when compiling PHP with the ./configure options outlined below (particularly the --enable-discard-path), a problem arises with PHP. When you run phpinfo() PHP produces error's like: 
+
+         **Warning: Unexpected character in input: '' (ASCII=24) state=1 in 
+         **/var/www/cgi-bin/php on line 686
+
+         ***Warning: Unexpected character in input: '' (ASCII=8) state=1 in 
+         ***/var/www/cgi-bin/php on line 686
+         ***...
+         ***Parse error: parse error in /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/php
+
+         As a work around to this problem you can compile PHP without the --enable-discard-path option and it seems to work fine. Please be aware
+         that this option provides the following functionality and leaving this option from the configure string disables this:
+
+         --enable-discard-path   If this is enabled, the PHP CGI binary can safely be placed outside of the web tree and people 
+         will not be able to circumvent .htaccess security."

+
+          o There appears to be a problem with threads. gc
+          o The PHP-4.3.0 bug appears to be fixed in 4.3.2RC1. I've not checked for a later version (yet). gc 
+
+    20 Feb 2003 
+
+          o There is a problem that PHP/Mapscript? process does not terminate or take a long time to terminate. - no work around at this time
+          o If you are using OUTPUTFORMAT descriptions, you need to have an IMAGETYPE <type> command in your mapfile or it will select some internal default - probably not what you want. This should change shortly in CVS.
+          o PHP-4.3.0 has a serious security issue, you should use PHP-4.3.1
+          o PHP-4.3.x built as a CGI module (required for mapscript) has a bug that causes PHP_SELF to get clobbered. This should be fixed in CVS and PHP-4.3.2. I fixed this by creating an auto_prepend.php file the contained: 
+
+<?php
+///// Quick fix until the PHP guys fix $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] /////
+$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] = substr($_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'],
+strlen($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']));
+
+if (substr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], 0, 2) == '//') {
+   $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] = substr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], 1);
+}
+
+$PHP_SELF = $SCRIPT_NAME = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] =
+$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
