ID: 19323 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: jneil@myersinternet.com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: Works fine here. Does it work with PHP 4.2.2? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-09 17:42:20] jneil@myersinternet.com As of PHP 4.2.3 any filesystem functions that call for a pathname only work with fully qualified paths. Relative paths no longer appear to work. This includes the fopen commands. This breaks a lot of code out there. For example, the following function does not work: <?php if ($fp = fopen("some_local_file.txt", "r")) { echo "Opened file...<br>\n\n"; } ?> However, the following DOES work: <?php if ($fp = fopen("/full/path/to/some_local_file.txt", "r")) { echo "Opened file...<br>\n\n"; } ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19323&edit=1
