Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25437&edit=1 ID: 25437 Updated by: krakjoe@php.net Reported by: jonas dot info at gmx dot net Summary: virtual() behaviour for php-files -Status: Open +Status: Closed Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Apache related Operating System: Win32; all? PHP Version: 4.3.3 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: krakjoe Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This has been open for a decade, hasn't generated any conversation and so there would appear to be no appetite for this change. The explanation is probably that virtual is an extremely surprising function that everyone avoids. Closing. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-08 16:20:33] jonas dot info at gmx dot net Description: ------------ i have tested the virtual("file2.php"); feature in php 4.3.3. now it behaves like an include in every way. but i think it would be better to parse the script as there were no calling script, so it were called through apache, so that the variable $test would not be changed in the called script and the $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] has to be the called script, not the calling. so it would be good to add a new parameter to virtual() to set some ini options for the called script (espacially the "open_basedir" and "safe_mode" options, or in the apache per directory settings of the called script) to allow customers to add there own php scripts in a kind of more controlled environement. Reproduce code: --------------- <!-- called.php --> <?php echo("this is: " . $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] . "<br>"); $test = "variable has changed"; ?> <!-- per_include.php --> include:<br> <?php $test = "variable set"; include("called.php"); echo($test); ?> <!-- per_virtual.php --> virtual:<br> <?php $test = "variable set"; virtual("called.php"); echo($test); ?> Expected result: ---------------- include: this is: /path/per_include.php variable has changed virtual: this is: /path/called.php variable set Actual result: -------------- include: this is: /path/per_include.php variable has changed virtual: this is: /path/per_virtual.php variable has changed ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25437&edit=1
