Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-17 12:59:28] moderator@blackpeeps.com This is what my phpinfo() says include_path .:/usr/lib/php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-17 12:48:12] wez@php.net It works fine here... Is your include_path still '' ? You *must* have '.' in your include path for relative includes to work; have you tried that? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-17 12:27:02] moderator@blackpeeps.com Test this code if you will: // Start- Copy and Save this code as phpbug21674.php in a path folder name "site3" <? // PHP BUG# 21674 // This script must be saved to Docs root path of virtual domain-A // To debug.. change the path to the path on your test server require_once ("/home/sites/site2/config.php"); echo "Hello - Testing PHP 4.3.0 bug# 21674<br>"; ?> // End - Copy and Save this code as phpbug21674.php // Begin - Copy and Save this code as config.php in a path folder name "site2" <? include ('extras.php'); ?> // End - Copy and Save this code as config.php // Begin - Copy and Save this code as extras.php in a path folder name "site2" <? // -- field definitions -- $extra=array(); // leave this line alone $extra[info1][name]="Alias Name/Nickname"; $extra[info1][type]="text"; $extra[info2][name]="Your Gender"; $extra[info2][type]=array("Female","Male",); $extra[info3][name]="Relationship Status"; $extra[info3][type]=array("Single","Single-Looking for Couples","Couple-Looking for Singles","Dating","Involved/Partner","Involved-Seeking New Friends","Married","Married-Seeking Discreet Friend","Engaged","Divorced","Widowed","Player","Just looking for friend","Just Looking for Sex Partner","Undecided"); $extra[info4][name]="Sexual Orientation"; $extra[info4][type]=array("Heterosexual","Gay","Lesbian","BiSexual","BiCurious","Rather Not Say"); // do not edit past this line $extras = array(); for ($i=0; $i < 21; $i++) { $marker = "info".$i; // print $marker."<br>"; // debug if (strlen($extra[$marker][name]) > 1) $extras[]=$marker; } // in general, to display extra variable values, use $extra[infox][value] ?> Now execute php21674.php to reproduce errors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-16 21:01:53] wez@php.net If you can provide us with a complete self-contained reproducing script, we can investigate this further. So far in your report you have not responded to any of our requests for further information, and there was no mention of writing a file in any of your comments. Please read the instructions here: http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php for information about how to write a "good" bug report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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.
