ID: 9673 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: vvo at geocities dot com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: RedHat Linux PHP Version: 4.3.2 New Comment: Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-01 18:32:42] vvo at geocities dot com setting version to 4.3.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-01 18:31:04] vvo at geocities dot com Not clear to me why the issue status was changed to "Bogus". As far as I can tell multiple people have same issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-24 15:14:47] chunan at zingy dot com I am also having problems with the include() function. I also agree that relative includes should always be relative to the current script. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-18 17:51:28] schapht at drexel dot edu I am using version 4.3.2, and I have this problem. I also agree that the php include behavior hurts modularity. I can't reuse classes w/o modifying the code to handle the new parent-script path. Please tell me there's a fix for this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-13 09:57:57] php at arantius dot cjb dot net I'm sure I can get around this, but things really would be nice if this worked. Situation is a very modular web site, with many files to be included, some class definitions, and some other fuctions. Off of the root /, there is /classes and /plugins . A file in /plugins is included from a file in /, and depends on a file in /classes. In other words: /main.php includes /plugin/driver.php /plugin/driver.php includes /classes/Item.php But, within /plugin/driver.php, the statement require_once "../classes/Item.php" fails. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
