I have not completely debugged it, but afaics "php_resolve_path" fails were it should not; I suspect some of the "canonize path" functions wrongly give an error here. Thanks, Stephan Test script: --------------- Steps to reproduce: 1. Download: http://stephan-suerken.de/tmp/php53include.tar.gz [as root] 2. cd / 3. tar xfz php53include.tar.gz 4. /phptest/fail Expected result: ---------------- # manwe(CHROOT:sid-ui): /phptest # root? ./ok /phpinclude/inc123.php: OK, INCLUDED Actual result: -------------- # manwe(CHROOT:sid-ui): /phptest # root? ./fail PHP Warning: require(/phplink/phpinclude/inc123.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /phptest/test.php on line 2 PHP Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/phplink/phpinclude/inc123.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /phptest/test.php on line 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51860&edit=1
