#30681 [NEW]: include() not including chained include() files

From: php at healthfleet dot com Operating system: Linux/WinXP PHP version: 4.3.9 PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug description: include() not including chained include() files Description: ------------ Ok, I have found a couple of spots mentioning this, including here. But no solid answer. This code works fine on 2 WinXP boxes, 1 RH linux box, and another misc linux (I think also RH). So I'm thinking this isn't a relative position issue. However it does not work on a custom Web Server Application box (aka Cobalt RaQ 550). Reproduce code: --------------- Here is the senerio: DOCUMENT_ROOT: /home/.sites/143/site2/web/ SitePath of index.php: /modules/adminpanel/ SitePath of privileges.php: /modules/adminpanel/ SitePath of fleet_functions.php: /includes/ SitePath of fleetdb.php: /includes/ File1: index.php <? $myRoot = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; include("privileges.php"); ?> File2: privileges.php <? include_once("$myRoot/includes/fleet_functions.php"); ?> File3: fleet_functions.php <? include("fleetdb.php"); ?> Expected result: ---------------- I expected all the files to be included like they have on my local box testing and server testing. This is something unique about my new development test server. Actual result: -------------- I get an error message on the fleet_functions.php file: Warning: main(fleetdb.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/.sites/143/site2/web/includes/fleet_functions.php on line 2 Warning: main(): Failed opening 'fleetdb.php' for inclusion (include_path='') in /home/.sites/143/site2/web/includes/fleet_functions.php on line 2 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30681&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30681&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30681&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30681&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30681&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30681&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30681&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30681&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30681&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30681&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30681&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30681&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30681&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30681&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30681&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30681&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30681&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30681&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30681&r=float MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30681&r=mysqlcfg
