ID: 16875 Updated by: tonicpeddler@aol.com Reported By: tonicpeddler@cs.com Status: Open Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 4.2.0 New Comment: IS THIS BUG GETTING ANY ATTENTION? I'D CONTRIBUTE SOME WORK TO PHP AND FIND THE BUG MYSELF BUT I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO DO SO! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-02 13:16:33] tonicpeddler@aol.com I'm gonna go out a limb here and guess that this bug is no longer being looked into. If it's not, someone should kindly take the time to contradict me... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-29 11:58:04] tonicpeddler@aol.com I looked through some of the PHP scripts I had written, and found a working example of fopen that works just fine using a relative file path. Pertinent exerpt: $log = fopen('log.txt', 'a'); fwrite($log, $text . "\n"); fclose($log); echo ' <a href="log.txt">View Log</a>'; Is this bug being dealt with? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-27 19:47:46] tonicpeddler@cs.com I use include() and require() all the time, it works just fine. So the problem is probably specific to file() ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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
