#19741 [NEW]: Path no longer works in unlink, pdf_open_file

From: scott@meikohou.com Operating system: linux 2.4.18 PHP version: 4.2.3 PHP Bug Type: Apache2 related Bug description: Path no longer works in unlink, pdf_open_file In old apache 1.3.26/php.4.0.6 if (file_exists("somefile.pdf")) unlink("somefile.pdf"); pdf_open_file($pdf, "somefile.pdf"); would check the current directory. ie .. it will do these actions whereever documentroot happens to be. now it does not do this anymore in Apache/2.0.42 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.42 OpenSSL/0.9.6b PHP/4.2.3 in apache 2.0.42 getcwd() returns the current working directory <documentroot> however if i do chdir (documentroot) the first command if (file_exists("somefile.pdf")) unlink("somefile.pdf"); will work but the 2nd pdf_open_file($pdf, "somefile.pdf"); will not. the workaround seems to be to work is to include the whole path pdf_open_file($pdf, "$documentroot/somefile.pdf"); which appears to work .. is this a bug or a feature? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19741&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19741&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19741&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19741&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19741&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19741&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19741&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19741&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19741&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19741&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19741&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19741&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19741&r=dst
