PHP Request URI containing multiple slashes gives internal error 500

I basically want to rewrite URLs using PHP. I built my script on this answer.
Thinking about the design again though I decided to construct my URLs like this:

http://example.com/category/sub-category/page-name

Now when I try to use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], the apache server just throws an 'internal server error 500 - script error'. This only seems to appear if the requested URL contains more than one /-character.
How can I store the full path requested?

Open the server errorlog (of apache) and look why apache has thrown http 500. – Charlotte Dunois Aug 13 '14 at 20:11
This is a managed server, I got zero access to the server other than FTP – Moritz Friedrich Aug 13 '14 at 20:14

To b honest, I expected something a bit more informative... – Moritz Friedrich Aug 13 '14 at 22:50
create a script that has just this: "; print_r($_SERVER); echo ""; This will show you the server vars and gaive you a chance to see what's going on. – Len_D Aug 13 '14 at 23:05
