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

ID: 30881 User updated by: ovdspek at liacs dot nl Reported By: ovdspek at liacs dot nl -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Debian Linux Sarge PHP Version: 4.3.9 New Comment: I'm not asking for PHP (CLI) to change the cwd to that of the script. I'm only asking for PHP to look for files *relative to the directory of the current script*, as the documentation claims it does. Note that the directory of the current script is *not* equivalent to the cwd (current working directory). > Files for including are first looked in include_path relative to the current working directory and then in include_path relative to the directory of current script. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-25 22:55:24] tony2001@php.net 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-24 14:45:34] ovdspek at liacs dot nl Oops, forgot to reopen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-24 14:34:58] ovdspek at liacs dot nl And doesn't the documentation claim to already search relative to the script dir? > and then in include_path relative to the directory of current script. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-24 14:33:16] ovdspek at liacs dot nl I'm asking for an addition, not a modification. 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
