It didn't failed opening, it failed reading. And require is not allowed to fail. That's not unknown file, that's known non-file. -- Stanislav Malyshev stas@zend.com ok, got it now, i thought it was related to just ./, not directories in general but it fails for include to, while including for example a non-existing file produces the message i cited above and the error message is very misleading so i move this on to feature requests: 1) should give clearer error-message 2) at least include should treat directories like nonexistant (or empty?) files and issue a warning instead of a fatal error --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-08-17 11:21:40] hholzgra@php.net still it should not result in a parse error it should produce a warning PHP Warning: Failed opening './' for inclusion as with other unknown files --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-08-17 11:07:48] stas@php.net I don't see problem here. ./ is not a file, and reading it as a file fails.
