@ab at php dot net I did not have php dir on PATH.

@spam2 at rhsoft dot net
About "people should *really* stop using relative paths at all for configurations"
I use php.exe and few dlls as portable launcher of code verifier in my portable text editor => I
can't use absolute paths and I want not setup php on each computer before use it; I want just
copy directory or just plug in USB flash card with my editor and php verifier before use it. Please,
don't break this possibility.

@francois nice. Please let me know, if you need something to be tested.

Thanks.

@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
