[Bug 1040212] [NEW] PHP CGI configuration fundamentally changed

[Clint Byrum]

Public bug reported:

This discussion is ongoing in Debian, and the fixes have not even
landed, but I wanted to make sure this does not get forgotten.

http://lists.debian.org/debian-apache/2012/08/msg00043.html

Basically quantal has a changed mime-types package that will affect some
PHP users. The proposed release note that will be included in Debian
wheezy should probably also be quoted in Quantal's release notes.

Default PHP extension configuration
-----------------------------------

The mime-types package has dropped non-standard definitions of
PHP MIME-Types as a security measure.  Default PHP configuration
for libapache2-mod-php5{filter} and php5-cgi now only serve files
which have .php, .php[345] and .phtml extensions on a most right
place as opposed to previous state where <filename>.php.foobar
would have been interpreted.  Please read NEWS file in the PHP
SAPI of your choice for further information.
