I'm not sure whether this is how it's supposed to work, but if it is I'm amazed because it's extremely counter-intuitive. '.' should always be relative to the script that is calling include*()/require*() even if that script was include*()'d/require*()'d itself. full write-up here: http://www.qurve.com/broken_paths.txt Reproduce code: --------------- http://www.qurve.com/broken_paths.txt Expected result: ---------------- /root/a.php includes: "b/b.php" /root/b/b.php includes: "../c/c.php" php should include /root/c/c.php Actual result: -------------- /root/a.php includes: "b/b.php" /root/b/b.php includes: "../c/c.php" php attempts to include /c/c.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24251&edit=1
