#47767 [Com]: include_once does not resolve windows symlinks or junctions

ID: 47767 Comment by: martin at curlybracket dot de Reported By: lukemoynihan at gmail dot com Status: Feedback Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: win32 only - Windows Vista PHP Version: 5.2.9 Assigned To: pajoye New Comment: I've tryed symlinked files and that is working for me, you're right. So, maybe the symlinked directory thing is another but related bug, right? I've also tryed the latest snapshot, but the problem is the same for me. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-06-17 19:37:30] pajoye@php.net Does it work for you for symlinked files? Or does it fail too? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-06-17 12:43:22] martin at curlybracket dot de I've just checked the snapshot PHP 5.3 (5.3.0RC4-dev) VC6 x86 Non Thread Safe (2009-Jun-17 13:00:00) (Zip, sha1: 269d823708ed9bec3cd4ab5ca563245ed6aed820) and neither symlink nor junction is working for me. My scenario is a bit different, i'm linking not a file but a directory: D:\dev\lib is the target. D:\dev\link is the symlink/junction. When i try to include the file D:\dev\link\test.php i get the following error: ------------ Warning: include_once(D:\dev\link\test.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\dev\test-47767.php on line 2 Fatal error: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening required 'D:\dev\link\test.php' (include_path='.') in D:\dev\test-47767.php on line 2 ------------ is_file('D:\dev\link\test.php') returns true and an include to D:\dev\lib\test.php is working correctly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-06-16 00:21:16] pajoye@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5.3-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://windows.php.net/snapshots/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-26 02:47:05] lukemoynihan at gmail dot com Ok, I can understand not wanting to support Junctions, It would be fantastic to support symlinks though - this is bound to come up more as people on windows learn to use links, if you need any testing done for this let me know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-25 11:13:31] pajoye@php.net Ok, will see what can be done for symlink. I'm not sure 2k/xp are worst a hack, but 2k8/vista/win7 have real symlinks support. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
