I'll extend your example. We now have a RewriteRule in apache like this: RewriteRule ^files/?$ /directory/file.php [L,QSA] Which will rewrite /files/... --> /directory/file.php REQUEST_URI now contains how it was called by the browser, '/files/something.php' SCRIPT_NAME returns path to script (/directory/file.php), set by the SAPI (apache, ..). PHP_SELF returns also the path to script (/directory/file.php), but set by PHP self. I don't have any ORIG_PATH_INFO on my Ubuntu box, so be careful about this one. Recommended: Depends on which you need. I prefer PHP_SELF over SCRIPT_NAME, but that's more personal choice.
