#24114 [Com]: include_path option

ID: 24114 Comment by: joe at hitman dot co dot uk Reported By: stefano dot cecconi at staff dot aruba dot it Status: Bogus Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Operating System: windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.3.2 New Comment: I am having a similar include problem on Win XP. I used to use: include_path = ".;\apache\htdocs" (which relates to the dir c:\apache\htdocs) Now it won't work with any combination, Not even include_path = ".;c:\apache\htdocs" !!! What do I do? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-10 11:38:10] sniper@php.net This was already 'broken' (actually it was another bug that was fixed) in PHP 4.3.0. Current behaviour is the correct and documented one. There is no reason to break it again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-10 10:35:09] stefano dot cecconi at staff dot aruba dot it Php 4.2.3 works in a different way. Even with the / it works. A lot of free php scripts are written with this notation. Now they don't work anymore. Try to think to 200.000 domain in hosting (we are the web hosting company) where all people working with php and includes have to change their scripts. It's not so easy, right? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-10 09:44:09] derick@php.net Your version should never have worked... it's not a bug at all that you need to strip that / (it will make PHP to open c:/call_php/counter.php)... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-10 09:09:41] stefano dot cecconi at staff dot aruba dot it This is my include_path option value : include_path = ".;c:\php\includes" Before 4.3.2 everything worked using this path in a script : include "/call_php/counter.php" With 4.3.2 is mandatory to remove the first / so it works only with this path : include "call_php/counter.php" or include "./call_php/counter.php" I can't understand this change and it's creating a lot of problems for our web hosting service, simply because there are thousands of scripts based on the old way to use relative paths. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24114&edit=1
