#46814 [NEW]: Relative includes from symlinked directories fail

From: dennis dot birkholz at nexxes dot net Operating system: Gentoo/Linux PHP version: 5.2.8 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: Relative includes from symlinked directories fail Description: ------------ include statement seems to resolve the current working directory other than the rest of php so if I am in a symlinked directory an try to include a file using a relative path (containing ../), the include fails because the original path of the script is used to resolve the relative include and not the path the script is invoked from. Reproduce code: --------------- Asume the following files/directory structure: Directory /test1 Directory /htdocs Directory /htdocs/docs Symlink /htdocs/test2 -> /test1 File /test1/index.php File /htdocs/docs/docs.inc.php DocumentRoot is /htdocs File-Contents of /test1/index.php <?php include("../docs/docs.inc.php"); // ... other code ?> Expected result: ---------------- No error, output generated by code after the include Actual result: -------------- An error: failed to open stream: No such file or directory (/test1/index.php:2) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46814&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46814&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46814&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46814&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46814&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46814&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46814&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46814&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46814&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46814&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46814&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46814&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46814&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46814&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46814&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46814&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46814&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46814&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46814&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46814&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46814&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46814&r=mysqlcfg
