Which path? The filesystem path or symbolic link path? And if we have several symbolic links to a directory ? Anyway, the behaveour of include/require functions changed scince PHP3 (and even scince some beta of PHP4). If it is new incompatible feature, IMHO, it should be documented. Or, even better, there could be a parameter in configuration file. I need to know, if I have to change the structure of my PHP code which relies on previous behaveour (i.e., "../" in include/require goes up in directory structure without checking of sysmbolic links). > On Unix it's not the same. > > Full Bug description available at: _ > #¦àz3U0Z Y «æhttp://bugs.php.net/version4/?id=5167 > > -- > PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-dev-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net -- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Kirill Maximov maximov@astrive.com Astrive, Inc. http://www.astrive.com
