#36089 [NEW]: using require_once with variable names for path doesnt realize they are same

From: diana at hotelkey dot com Operating system: Windows and Linux PHP version: 4.4.2 PHP Bug Type: Variables related Bug description: using require_once with variable names for path doesnt realize they are same Description: ------------ part of our application does a require once like this: require_once Path::getPath('libraries')."file.php" and other parts do it like this require_once $libraries_path."file.php" php doesnt recognize these as the same even though they both result in an identical string as the path and therefore includes the file twice. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36089&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36089&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36089&r=trysnapshot51 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36089&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36089&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36089&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36089&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36089&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36089&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36089&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36089&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36089&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36089&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36089&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36089&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36089&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36089&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36089&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36089&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36089&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36089&r=mysqlcfg
