PATH_INFO
The extra path information, as given by the client. In other words, scripts can be accessed by their virtual pathname, followed by extra information at the end of this path. The extra information is sent as PATH_INFO. This information should be decoded by the server if it comes from a URL before it is passed to the CGI script.

PATH_TRANSLATED
The server provides a translated version of PATH_INFO, which takes the path and does any virtual-to-physical mapping to it.

SCRIPT_NAME
A virtual path to the script being executed, used for self-referencing URLs.
