#22868 [NoF->Opn]: xslt_process() not reading files relative to script

ID: 22868 User updated by: kirk at coraldesigns dot com Reported By: kirk at coraldesigns dot com -Status: No Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: XSLT related Operating System: Windows XP -PHP Version: 4.3.2RC1 +PHP Version: 4.3.2 Stable 22 April New Comment: I just checked it in the latest stable release, it still doesn't work. I still had to copy both the XSL and XML files to the directory with php.exe to get it to work. It however works flawlessly with 4.3.1 under Linux. So this is a Win32 bug alone.

Using an XML file and an XSL with the following script: // script location: c:/apache/htdocs/pathto/test.php <?php $xsltproc = xslt_create(); $html = xslt_process($xsltproc, 'test.xml', 'test.xsl'); // some error checking left out for simplicity echo $html; ?> I get the following error: XSLT processing error: cannot open file 'c:/apache/php/test.xsl' I read the archives, and saw that this bug was previously reported for 4.3.0 and then closed as fixed in CVS. However 4.3.2 RC1 still exhibits this behaviour. This was then re-tagged as a documentation error, however this behaviour is not right, as developers should not have access to the path with php.exe. Some possible fixes which were recommended were to override the base path with xslt_set_base(), however this would make the scripts machine specific and reduce portability. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22868&edit=1
