Bug #16875 Updated: FILE Function Checks Wrong Path

ID: 16875 Updated by: tonicpeddler@cs.com Reported By: tonicpeddler@cs.com -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 4.2.0 New Comment: I use include() and require() all the time, it works just fine. So the problem is probably specific to file() Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-27 19:35:21] sniper@php.net Can you test if the same thing happens with include() ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-27 13:12:09] tonicpeddler@cs.com When I call: $data = file( "database.txt" ); From my file "c:\xitami\webpages\db\database.php", php doesn't check "c:\xitami\webpages\db\" for database.txt, instead it returns an error saying that "database.txt" doesn't exist in the directory "c:\xitami\webpages\db\database.php" I beleive this may be a bug, since it shouldn't be including the name of the php script in the directory. In the mean time I am specifying an absolute filename for database.txt, however I'd much prefer the modularity of relative file access. If you fix it, that's great, I hope someone contacts me. In that case could someone tell me where to download a prebuilt binary? I'm on dialup and a pretty slow machine, not very interested in downloading the source code again, and building, again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16875&edit=1
