From: tep@sportbug.net Operating system: Linux RH 6.2 PHP version: 4.0.2 PHP Bug Type: Filesystem function related Bug description: Error from require_once when path contains a php variable like $DOCUMENT_ROOT The following code : <?php $test = ""; require_once($test."test.inc"); ?> where test.inc is just: <?php echo "HERE"; ?> produces this error when run: Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING' ..... on line 3 If you removing the $test varible or change the function require_once() to require(), include(), or include_once(), the error goes away. Not sure if this is the intended. Using PHP 4.0.2 (not the latest snap shot) on Red Hat 6.2 with Apache. Tim Pfafman
