I am just reporting, that relative path with drive letter is not resolved correctly. If this path format should be supported, it needs to be resolved like PHP resolve any other relative relative paths. PHP currently ignores this fact completely and resolves relative paths with drive letter like absolute ones. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-12-10 14:12:07] requinix@php.net And if your expected behavior on Windows is that "C:/x.txt" and "C:/X.TXT" are two different files, you would be equally wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-12-10 13:30:36] michael dot vorisek at email dot cz Yes, only contemplation for easier fix and to prevent missuses... The current issue is that PHP does not resolves relative paths the same way. The expected behaviour is, if your current directory is in C: drive, then all usages like: "x.txt", "./x.txt" and "C:x.txt" point to the same file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
