Your close itself is Bogus -- the cited URL does NOT begin suggest that you are unwilling to read reports with detail, summarized here. Indeed one strength of a web tracker is the ability to see the error in context. --------------------------- Since you cannot be bothers, here it is in summary form: 1. The option description for the -c option at: http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php suggest that the interperter permits a space between the -c and the arguemnt -- It does NOT and the presence of such a space causes subtle errors (vis., it does not stat the file, and skips the -c option calue directory or file). ---------- 2. A trim() in the option parser leg on the object for the -c path will solve the problem. ---------- 00 -- specific enough? -- Russ herrold ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-15 03:53:09] sniper@php.net Not enough information was provided for us to be able to handle this bug.

Failure to do so causes the load of the php.ini options to be skipped in the command line mode. This in turn causes subtle and hard to diagnose errors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18343&edit=1
