PHP 4.0 Bug #7161: __FILE__ now generates \ instead of /

From: danielc@analysisandsolutions.com Operating system: NT 4.0 SP 6a PHP version: 4.0.3 PHP Bug Type: *General Issues Bug description: __FILE__ now generates \ instead of / PHP has changed the way it displays directory separators in a file's path when calling the __FILE__ constant. PHP 3.0.11: g:\webroot/ideasphp/bug403-filepath.htm PHP 4.0.3: g:\webroot\ideasphp\bug403-filepath.html This inconsistency is causing problems my scripts which do an explode("/", __FILE__). Guess I'll now have to swich to split("[\/]", __FILE__); for now. But doing so changes the first array element from "g:\webroot" to "g:", which requires further code rewrites. -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=7161&edit=1
