ID: 21674 Updated by: wez@php.net Reported By: moderator@blackpeeps.com -Status: Bogus +Status: Feedback Bug Type: *URL Functions Operating System: Cobalt RAQ4 Apache/Linux PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: If you can provide us with a complete self-contained reproducing script, we can investigate this further.

Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-16 20:40:43] moderator@blackpeeps.com That depends on one's definition of a bug. In this case, the erroneous message given by php would defintely be considered a bug, in my opinion. Its the analougous to one calling the fire department and saying "come now, my house is on fire" when, in fact, one's nextdoor neighbor has burned his bar-b-que ribs. If the affliction is related to a permissions or authority issue, then the message should state so. The error message should not be one that makes mention of of a "file or directory not found" when, in fact, the file or directory does exists. Cheers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-16 18:28:44] edink@php.net So it turns out that this is not a bug in PHP :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-16 18:17:58] moderator@blackpeeps.com I may have debugged the problem. Actually, the problem is more of a very bad Error Message than a functionality issue. Specifically, my script's end result is to create a dynamic page (index.html) the web root path/directory from which the script is executed and in which the index.html file is to be written to was did not have "w" write permissions. So instead of PHP stating that it could not write to /home/sites/site3/web/ due to an authorization issue it sent: Warning: main(lang.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /home/sites/site2/web/IV/config.php on line 97 Warning: main() [function.main]: Failed opening 'lang.php' for inclusion (include_path='') in /home/sites/site2/web/IV/config.php on line 97 Warning: main(extras.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /home/sites/site2/web/IV/config.php on line 98 Warning: main() [function.main]: Failed opening 'extras.php' for inclusion (include_path='') Which is grossly misleading and only sends one off on a "wild goose" chase. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-15 23:29:05] moderator@blackpeeps.com The script worked like a charm prior to upgrade to php 4.3.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-15 23:27:01] moderator@blackpeeps.com What do you mean when you say that my include_path is empty? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
