The story begin when I was migrating my Codeigniter app from php4 to php5 hosting environment and then I change the uri_protocol config,

1

    $config['uri_protocol'] = "PATH_INFO";

And then the app crashed!?? I had to debug the code for quite sometimes 😫

Debugging the $_SERVER variable, and turns out the PATH_INFO variable wasn’t exist, but the ORIG_PATH_INFO variable is exist, hmm is it the PHP version problem?

So then I found this article path_info, orig_path_info, apache and php, well I guess that explained very well, on his condition mentioned in the article, the problem happened when he use .htaccess redirect and in my condition it happen when I use .htaccess mod_rewrite

PATH_INFO relies on the Apache AcceptPathInfo Directive
