It does not (or at least - not always). When php scripts are run in cgi 
environment (I have tested on Apache only) the SCRIPT_NAME variable is 
set to "/cgi-bin/php4-wrapper" or something equally unusable for our 
purposes. However the PHP_SELF variable always gives us the relative 
path to the current script.
