#30881 [Opn->Bgs]: C++ like include (path/search) in PHP?

ID: 30881 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: ovdspek at liacs dot nl -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Debian Linux Sarge PHP Version: 4.3.9 New Comment: PHP CLI "does not change the working directory to that of the script" (c) http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php In your case documentation says about other SAPIs.

What kind of scripts would be broken if you search additional paths (after searching in the old way)? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-24 14:29:14] derick@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php This is expected, and we can not change this as it will break a lot of scripts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-24 14:25:06] ovdspek at liacs dot nl Description: ------------ In PHP, includes (appear to) use the current working directory. In C++, includes use the directory of the including script (and the include path). Could the C++ behaviour be added to PHP includes? Because if relative includes are used, current PHP scripts can only be executed if cwd == script dir. Reproduce code: --------------- $ cat 1.php <?php echo "1.php<br>\n"; ?> $ cat b/2.php <?php include('../1.php'); ?> $ php -f b/2.php Warning: main(../1.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/olaf/t/a/b/2.php on line 2 Warning: main(): Failed opening '../1.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /home/olaf/t/a/b/2.php on line 2 $ cd b $ php -f b/2.php Could not open input file: b/2.php. $ php -f 2.php 1.php<br> $ Expected result: ---------------- Warning: main(../1.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/olaf/t/a/b/2.php on line 2 Warning: main(): Failed opening '../1.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /home/olaf/t/a/b/2.php on line 2 Actual result: -------------- 1.php<br> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30881&edit=1
