#18920 [Opn]: file_exists() doesn't work with relativ path's

ID: 18920 Updated by: kalowsky@php.net Reported By: jan.lange@artada.de Status: Open -Bug Type: Filesystem function related +Bug Type: Apache2 related Operating System: RedHat 7.2 Linux 2.4.18 PHP Version: 4CVS-2002-08-15 New Comment: Changing to an Apache2 bug Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-16 09:58:41] jan.lange@artada.de Hi! I have installed Apache 1.3.26, and recompiled php4-200208150600 with the same options. Than I modified little bit my Apache2 httpd.conf File so that it is working with Apache 1.3.x. After that I have tested the file_exists() function with relativ path's, and now it works. Is it now a Apache2 bug or a PHP Apache2 API (Filter) bug? Next I will test it with Apache 2.0.39 and PHP-STABLE snapshot (4.2.3-dev). Greetings Jan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-15 12:58:22] kalowsky@php.net If you could test with it, it would be appriciated. Please realize that PHP's support of Apache2 is experimental, and is not assured to work at this time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-15 12:46:32] jan.lange@artada.de No, I can't it! I have only Apache 2.0.40 installed. Shall I install 1.3.x ? I haven't many time for the next days, I can test it on Monday, not sooner. Because my httpd.conf config-file is specialised for apache2, and won't work with apache 1.3 without some modifications. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-15 12:20:34] kalowsky@php.net Can you confirm this with Apache 1.3.x? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-15 12:14:01] jan.lange@artada.de Hi, I have installed Apache 2.0.40 and PHP 4.3-dev and I have a Programm (horde.org) that isn't working. I have analyze the scripts and I see that they use the file_exists() function with relative path's. I wrote a Test Script with echo file_exists ("./test.txt"); and when I run it, I get back a 0 When I set the full path to the file, then I get back a 1. If I test the mini-script on PHP 4.2.2 on shell, it works with relativ path's. After that I added this: echo getcwd(); to show whether the Apache starts the PHP Script in the correct directory, and it were right. So I think it is a PHP 4.3 bug in file_exists() Greetings Jan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18920&edit=1
