The point of asking for var_dump(ini_get('include_path')); is so you'll
show the output of it.  This is a form of debugging.

The problem has to do with the include_path directive.  Now we're
trying to figure out why/where it gets set to '' before doing some of
these includes as this seems to be the case.

So, whenever you get this error:

Warning: main() [function.main]: Failed opening 'foo.php'...

Add this line above the include:

var_dump(array(ini_get('include_path'),__LINE__,__FILE));

This way we'll know some useful information.  Basically put this line
above EVERY one of these failed includes, such as the inclusion
config.php, extra.php, and lang.php.  

Please do this and show the output in your next reply.  Btw, I modified
Wez's debug dump a little so we can be a little more specific :)  Also,
be 100% sure you are not setting this directive in either httpd.conf or
.htaccess.

Hello Wez:

Not it does not look like that.  I was asked to include
var_dump(ini_get('include_path'));

before the require_once statement in the primary script,
phpbug21674.php

Remember there are two scripts located in different paths representing
two different virtual domains.

/home/site3/phpbug21674.php (contains a require_once
("/home/sites/site2/web/IV/config.php");

and /home/sites/site2/web/IV/config.php" ---> contains
include_once ('lang.php');
include ('extras.php'); 

However, I did go back and also added the var_dump to config.php to
reflect as follows:

var_dump(ini_get('include_path'));
include_once ('lang.php');
include ('extras.php'); 


Results: Same results = Failed to create stream:

Again, this script worked fine on PHP 4.1.2 Now it seems to get it to
work, I have to reference the absolute path.

Just to be extra sure:

in config.php, do lines 97 and 98 look like this:

var_dump(ini_get('include_path'));
include ('extras.php');

If not, please make sure they do and report back.
If they do, then something really strange is going on.

Hello PHP.NET:

So is this bug a stream related 4.3.0 bug or not?

Did you try ? :

chown o+r / /home /home/sites \
   /home/sites/site2 \
   /home/sites/site2/web \
   /home/sites/site2/web/IV

Up to 4.2.3 "x" permission is need on ALL directories to the include.
Since 4.3.0 "rx" permissions are required.

Don't know why. 

Cordialy.

You did not ask me to place above line that include fails. You asked me
to place above require_once in the config.php file. That I can confirm.
