@ab@php.net Sure, this is a BC break. It must be fixed before the release.
I'll take time tomorrow to work on it.

@spam2 at rhsoft dot net sure, but it should not happen as a side effect of another patch. For now
I'd say, the behavior should be fixed.
Thanks.

frankly people should *really* stop using relative paths at all for configurations - subscribe to
bugtraq@securityfocus.com and it don't take that long to realize how stupid such configurations
are

@sailormax at inbox dot lv are you sure your php dir is not on PATH?
@requinix the explanation is not correct. It never worked the way it'd search relative to the
binary image directory, and unlikely ever will. See this docs
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682586%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms684175%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
In particular, this quote
[start]
The first directory searched is the directory containing the image file used to create the calling
process (for more information, see the CreateProcess function). Doing this allows private
dynamic-link library (DLL) files associated with a process to be found without adding the
process's installed directory to the PATH environment variable. If a relative path is
specified, the entire relative path is appended to every token in the DLL search path list.
[end]
Disregarding that, the patch is a really breaching change. The name like
"php_php_bz2.dll.dll" tells, it doesn't even check the ext filename already has a
suffix. More breaches are to expect on Windows
Thanks.

(...and tsrm_win32_access looks relative to the current working directory.)
