#23282 [Bgs]: include and require break with "./"

Reported By: russell+php dot net at loosenut dot com
Status: Bogus
Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem

New Comment:
RC1 is rather old and there may have been a bug in that. No idea. Try
current 4.3 CVS from http://snaps.php.net

Well, the "this is how it's supposed to work" was a tad unclear. Is
there something else I can provide that could help you figure out what
was happening? This is basically a "straight out of the box
configuration" and, as I said, swapping back to an older version of PHP
"works just fine."
On this server, I'm using the packaged "php.ini-recommended" file, only
slightly modified:
-- begin
% diff -c php.ini php.ini-recommended
*** php.ini Mon Apr 7 03:30:42 2003
--- php.ini-recommended Sun Mar 2 17:31:48 2003

This works just fine in PHP 4.3. The output from your test script here
is:
Including file:
File Successfully Included
Including file with dot-slash:
File Successfully Included
There must be something else going on you aren't telling us about.

Woah, is this report really saying that include './foo.php' will no
longer work?! Why? This would be a huge BC issue.

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.
