Bug #52847 [Opn->Dup]: Files to include are always searched for in current directory

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52847&edit=1 ID: 52847 Updated by: aharvey@php.net Reported by: mail_ben_schmidt at yahoo dot com dot au Summary: Files to include are always searched for in current directory -Status: Open +Status: Duplicate Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6.2 PHP Version: 5.3.2 Block user comment: N New Comment: This is intended behaviour: php_resolve_path() includes a fallback case at the end to search the directory the currently executing file lives in if all else fails. I'll update the documentation. Duping to doc bug #51569. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-09-15 03:32:15] mail_ben_schmidt at yahoo dot com dot au Actually, this may be a behaviour problem, not a documentation problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-09-15 03:26:04] mail_ben_schmidt at yahoo dot com dot au Description: ------------ The documentation at include and include_path suggests that the current directory will not be searched if a '.' is not in include path. Even though I can see no reason (e.g. in the source code referred to by bug #51569) that the current directory should be searched, it can be demonstrated that it is. See also bug #51569 and bug #52845 for further include_path documentation deficiencies. Test script: --------------- 1. Place in a file 'test/test.php': set_include_path('/bin'); // won't find any php files here! include('another.php'); 2. touch another.php 3. php test/test.php Expected result: ---------------- Warning that another.php cannot be found. Actual result: -------------- No warning. N.B. In line with the undocumented feature mentioned in bug #51569, if another.php is moved to test/another.php, it is still found also, because it is in the directory of the running script. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52847&edit=1
