#19689 [Bgs]: 4.2.3 and higher "include" operator mistake

ID: 19689 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: dmitry@koteroff.ru Status: Bogus Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 4CVS-2002-10-01 New Comment: Oh, I forgot: http://www.derickrethans.nl/20020426.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-01 08:03:43] derick@php.net Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely to be the same. Because of this, we hope you add your comments to the original bug instead. Thank you for your interest in PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-01 08:02:52] dmitry@koteroff.ru I'm trying to write here THIRD time (maybe previous two threads is down?). You said before this bug in NOT actual in 4.2.3 and in CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip but code STILL DOES NOT work in 4.2.3 and 4.3.0-dev. So, PHP v4.2.0 (and later!) on 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. Again, new version (4.3.0) has THE SAME bug: Z:\!distrib\php-4.2.3-Win32>php.exe <? include "/test.php"; ?> ^Z Warning: Failed opening '/test.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in - on line 2 If I use "include 'z:/test.php'", it works. Please help (our clients are very angry!) 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. P.P.S. I'm not a nasty man, but I would write here again if you continue ignore these messages like previous two. Generally speaking, good luck & thank you for PHP as such. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19689&edit=1
