defined variables list

[sssweb]

Can someone point me to a list that tells what results to expect from using defined variables like

%{SCRIPT_FILENAME}
%{REQUEST_FILENAME}
etc.

I can't find this in the Apache docs.

The results will vary if you use rewrites or not.

The easiest way is to build a test script and print them out for each request you make.

They should be in the Apache Docs, but the wording needs a careful read; it's not easy to follow.

I actually ended up doing that. Didn't find a variable that gives me exactly what I want, which is the name of the file being requested, without the string of folders that it's in. If you know of one that gives this, can you post; otherwise, is there a simple way to isolate the value from %{REQUEST_URI}?

Yes, the filename is everything after the final slash.

However, do think about requests for just "/" or "/folder/"- check whether a filename is revealed for those.

Parse SCRIPT_FILENAME, and take everything after the final slash.

In mod rewrite, that would be

 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^([^/]+/)+([^/]+)$ 

In this example, the back-reference $2 would contain the filename only.

Note that REQUEST_FILENAME is a mod_rewrite synonym for the cgi variable SCRIPT_FILENAME
