pathinfo not working

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 10.2004

i have a php page that uses pathinfo() so I can use urls like http://www.my_site.com/browse.php/cat_id/1.html.

I do a str_replace to remove the “.html” and I end up with cat_id=1.

The pathinfo works fine on one host using php 4.3.4 but not on one using 4.2.3. When I mouseover the link, it shows http://www.my_site.com/browse.php/cat_id/1.html but I still get an 404 error .

pathinfo() came in with php 4.0.

Any ideas?

@esmauthorMay 10.2004 — it does run on one site but not the other. I am going to try a third site later. here is the pathinfo code



[code=php]<?php
// initialiazation section - do not change
if(isset($PATH_INFO)) {
$PATH_INFO = str_replace(".html","",$PATH_INFO);
$vardata = explode('/', $PATH_INFO);
$num_param = count($vardata);
if ($num_param % 2 == 0) {
$vardata[] = '';
$num_param++;
}
for ($ij = 1; $ij < $num_param; $ij += 2) {
if (!empty($vardata[$ij]) AND !empty($vardata[$ij+1])) {
$$vardata[$ij] = addslashes($vardata[$ij+1]);
}
}
}
?>[/code]

Success!
