Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72687&edit=1 ID: 72687 Updated by: ab@php.net Reported by: marc dot lazzaro at st dot com Summary: "/" no more pointing to root directory -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Filesystem function related Operating System: Windows 7 PHP Version: 7.0.9 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. A path like /file.txt is relative to the CWD drive root. Say, if CWD is c:\hello, then \file.txt will resolve to c:\file.txt. Thanks.

I had to replace by include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."test.php") to recover normal behavior. Test script: --------------- <?php include ("/test.php"); or include_once ("/test.php"); or require_once ("/test.php"); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Is this a bug? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72687&edit=1
