#20452 [NEW]: Problems requiring/including when original file is a symlink

From: pupeno@pupeno.com Operating system: Linux Mandrake 9.0 PHP version: 4.2.3 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: Problems requiring/including when original file is a symlink I'm requesting a page, the file that is called is index.php, but this file is a symlink from somewhere else. When I require a file from index.php, if there's no '..' (dots) on the path (a relative path, but not going back), the relative path is from where the original file is, but if there are '..' on the path, the relative path is from where the symlink is (although php identifies the script as the original file in the error message). -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20452&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20452&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20452&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20452&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20452&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20452&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20452&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20452&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20452&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20452&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20452&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20452&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20452&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20452&r=isapi
