#49456 [Opn->Bgs]: Script current working directory converted to real path cause require() errors

ID: 49456 Updated by: sjoerd@php.net Reported By: michele dot manzato at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Ubuntu/Hardy PHP Version: 5.2.11RC1 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Note that this behavior is the same as in a shell: cd b/c ls .. It shows the contents of /tmp, not the contents of /tmp/b. This works as it should.

As one can see in the reproduce code the script's getcwd() says '/tmp/a' although the script was run from '/tmp/b/c'. As a result the require() instruction fails because it can't find any '/inc.php'. '/tmp/b/inc.php' would have been found if the original symlinked path was preserved. Reproduce code: --------------- ~$ cd /tmp /tmp$ mkdir a /tmp$ mkdir b /tmp$ echo '<?php echo getcwd(); require "../inc.php";?>' > a/test.php /tmp$ echo '<?php echo "ok\n";?>' > b/inc.php /tmp$ ln -s /tmp/a b/c /tmp$ cd b/c/ /tmp/b/c$ php -f test.php Expected result: ---------------- ok Actual result: -------------- /tmp/a Warning: require(../inc.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /tmp/a/test.php on line 1 Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '../inc.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /tmp/a/test.php on line 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49456&edit=1
