Help! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-22 20:29:06] sniper@php.net Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with PHP. Unfortunately you are not using a current version of PHP -- the problem might already be fixed. Please download a new PHP version from http://www.php.net/downloads.php If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open". Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-22 07:13:36] dmitry@koteroff.ru PHP v4.2.0+ (Windows): include "/home/some/site.php"; - DOES NOT work (try to believe)! We have to use instead: include "z:/home/some/site.php"; # bad... Bad?.. BAD!!! Previous PHP v4.1.0: include "/home/some/site.php"; - works correct. I think that since 4.2.0 pathes like "/some/where" does not treated as absolute. For example, if we add "z:" to "include_path", include "/home/some/site.php" become workable - it is only the prove. It is VERY loathsome bug, because it makes Windows scripts incompatible with Unix and with previous PHP versions. P.S. DocumentRoot "/home/site/www" ... GET http://site/test.php - DOES NOT work too. It seems to me mod_php uses the same "include" function while starting the script. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19549&edit=1
