Any suggestions? I don't know if this is a bug or just a misconfiguration.

Expected behaviour:
The $_SERVER variable SCRIPT_NAME should be the name of the running script:

Quote:

'SCRIPT_NAME'

Contains the current script's path. This is useful for pages which need to point to themselves. The __FILE__ constant contains the full path and filename of the current (i.e. included) file.

Actual behaviour:
It works as expected when running under apache, but returns only "/php/php.exe" when running under the built-in SRV Server.

Workaround:
Use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] instead.

I should have guessed: The documentation for $_SERVER is not alphabetical. The documentation for PHP_SELF implies (somewhat cryptically) that SCRIPT_NAME is the path of the PHP engine when running in CGI mode:

Quote:

'PHP_SELF'

The filename of the currently executing script, relative to the document root. For instance, $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] in a script at the address http://myserver/test.php/mywebsite would be /test.php/mywebsite. The __FILE__ constant contains the full path and filename of the current (i.e. included) file.

If PHP is running as a command-line processor this variable contains the script name since PHP 4.3.0. Previously it was not available.

So: Using PHP_SELF is the Right Thing, and has been so since PHP 4.3.0.

Correct. While Php is run as CGI module, SCRIPT_NAME is pointing to php executable. It's true when you use php CGI under Apache too.
