#29949 [Opn]: Relative include() sometimes works as expected

ID: 29949 User updated by: joaquim at telia dot com Reported By: joaquim at telia dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: WinXP PHP Version: 4.3.8 New Comment: I guess this is an obvious mistake, but in "Expected result", it's supposed to say "spoon" instead of "foo". Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-02 13:34:37] joaquim at telia dot com Description: ------------ If include_path is set to ".", and the relative path in an include statement contains "../" but doesn't start with "../", then the relative path is relative to the including script instead of the currently running script. This is inconsistent with the way in which relative paths in include statements are supposed to work. Reproduce code: --------------- /a.php <? include "inc/module/b.php"; ?> /inc/module/b.php <? include "spoon/../../c.php"; // Note: There is no "spoon" catalog ?> /inc/c.php <? echo "Hello world"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- "Warning: main(foo/../../c.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /inc/module/b.php on line 1" The above result would be consistent with the error reported when "foo/../" is removed from the code. Actual result: -------------- Outputs "Hello world" to the browser. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29949&edit=1
