Hi, All

I do not remember where I found the list of variables that are provided if
you load PHP using Apache, nginx, IIS ...
Fact is that there's a list of variables in the CGI 1.1 definition that
should be given to a cgi script:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3875#section-4
PATH_INFO is on the list and therewith should at least be given to every
cgi-script.

As not all web-server are fully compatible to the definition or do not
support cgi 1.1 there are quite much posts where you find work-arounds for
misconfiguration web-servers.
I know about nginx that you have to add a special configuration to get the
path_info - but the example provided at the developers-page sometimes
returns a wrong value. See:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8265941/empty-value-to-path-info-in-nginx-returns-junk-value/

Maybe there are also some other known issues around this PATH_INFO ...
Here's a request for a portable way to receive the path-info even if it's
not provided by the web-server:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1884041/portable-and-safe-way-to-get-path-info

I've always tried to use something like mod_rewrite and manage all incoming
requests in an own dispatcher. That helped me a lot getting around this
problems.

Hope that this gives you more detailed information in what you need.

Bye
Simon
