why when I set fastcgi\_param PATH\_INFO whatever;  
At PHP, I got the value from $\_SERVER[“ORIG\_PATH\_INFO”] and not from  
$\_SERVER[“PATH\_INFO”]

nginx version: nginx/0.7.61  
PHP 5.2.0-8+etch15 (cgi-fcgi) (built: May 1 2009 10:20:42)

I have another server that works:  
nginx version: nginx/0.7.60  
PHP 5.2.9-0.dotdeb.1 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.7 (cgi-fcgi) (built: Apr  
9 2009 15:40:07)
