#23282 [Bgs]: include and require break with "./"
ID: 23282
User updated by: russell+php dot net at loosenut dot com
Reported By: russell+php dot net at loosenut dot com
Status: Bogus
Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Operating System: Solaris
PHP Version: 4.3.2RC1
New Comment:
Well, this effectively breaks relative directory includes, then... you
can no longer write complex scripts that "know" their own directory
structure, doing something like:
include( "../include/db.inc" );
..or similiar, since the "." b0rks the inclusion. IMO this is bad
behaviour (and contrary to the way relative file pathing works in
either the UN*X shell or the simply the web itself).

This is how it's supposed to work.

It would appear that "include" and "require" bork if you include a file
with "./" -- however, excluding the dot-slash, the files are correctly
included from the current directory or relative subdirectories.
Previous versions of PHP (testing in 4.1.s) work just fine with
identical scripts.
According to "phpinfo();" run on the server in this same directory, I
have:
Directive: include_path
Local Value: .:/usr/local/php-4.3.2rc1/lib/php
Master Value: .:/usr/local/php-4.3.2rc1/lib/php
Safe mode is also off.
Test case:
-- begin
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>PHP Test Case</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>
Testing:
<?PHP
// index.php
print( "Including file:<BR>\n" );
include( "file.php" );
print( "Including file with dot-slash:<BR>\n" );
include( "./file.php" );
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>
-- end
-- begin
<?PHP
// file.php
print( "<B>File Successfully Included</B><BR>\n" );
?>
-- end
...if all goes well, you should see "File Successfully Included" twice
-- however, it only shows up once and the second line shows an error in
the error logs.
Here are the error messages that the two above files generate (Apache
1.3.27):
-- begin
