path_info with register_globals off

[mickfuzz]

hi there,

i couldn't find help for this with searching as the terms are so generic so hopefully someone can answer this questions.

if register_globals are off, how do you access the $PATH_INFO information.

I have the following code which works ok with register_globals = on
but which fails when it is turned off.

can you help?

$var_array = explode("/",$PATH_INFO);
$id = $var_array[1];
$prefix = $var_array[2];
$error = $var_array[3];

I tried
$PATH_INFO = $_GET['PATH_INFO'];

but that didn't work.

As this variable is not provided via the get request instead it is provided by the server, what would be the name of super global?
