I wouldn't be surprised if REQUEST_FILENAME did contain the full path, but only if it was checked inside a <Directory> section or .htaccess file. This is because it will depend on what stage of processing mod_rewrite is running in. In general, asking apache to tell you the exact physical location that a request maps to on the filesystem is not easy. This is because mapping from URL to the filesystem can happen in so many different ways. You are probably better off teaching your script how do it with your own knowledge of local rules.
