This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

SplFileObject will expand to the full path internally in case
include_path is used.

Description:
------------
If SplFileObject is instantiated with the third parameter (search
include_path) set to true:

$file = new SplFileObject($filename, 'r', true);

and the file is indeed on path and found,
a consequent call to $file->getRealPath() returns false,
as if the file hasn't been found at all, instead of returning the real
path.

Reproduce code:
---------------
/wwwroot
  |
  |-> /directory
  |    |
  |    |-> testfile.txt
  |
  |-> test.php


In test.php:

<?php

set_include_path(dirname(__FILE__) . '/directory');

try {

    $file = new SplFileObject('testfile.txt', 'r', true);
    var_dump($file->getRealPath());
    
} catch (RuntimeException $e) {
    echo 'File does not exist';
}


try {

    $file = new SplFileObject('./directory/test-file.txt', 'r', true);
    var_dump($file->getRealPath());

} catch (RuntimeException $e) {
    echo 'File does not exist';
}


Expected result:
----------------
/wwwroot/directory/testfile.txt
/wwwroot/directory/testfile.txt

Actual result:
--------------
false
/wwwroot/directory/testfile.txt
