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

ID: 7161 Updated by: andi Reported By: danielc@analysisandsolutions.com Status: Closed Bug Type: *General Issues Assigned To: Comments: PHP 4 in thread safe environments such as NT (for now) makes sure that file names are created the standard way on our platform. In the case of NT, c:\foo\bar is the standard way. Sorry but you'll need to fix your scripts and best is if your solution works for both / and \ because they are both valid separators under NT. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-12 11:30:38] danielc@analysisandsolutions.com 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:webrootideasphpbug403-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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=7161
