$_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] on localhost

I'm getting the following error when I use $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] on my localhost:

Notice: Undefined index: PATH_INFO

I'm using WAMP. Can someone tell me why this is happening?

PATH_INFO isn't always set. It is only set if there was trailing path info after the script.

For example if you have a file located here: localhost/index.php and you access it via this URL: http://localhost:8000/index.php/foo/bar

then $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] will be set to a value of "/foo/bar"

but if you access the script via the URL: http://localhost:8000/index.php then PATH_INFO will not be set and you will see a notice like that for attempting to access an undefined index of an array.

According to documentation: PHP Manual - $_SERVER .

There is no guarantee that every web server will provide any of these; servers may omit some, or provide others not listed here.

That has been said, try

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

If your url looks like this http://localhost/ then $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] is not set.
