Bug #6336 Updated: setting include_path breaks top index.php

ID: 6336 Updated by: sbergmann Reported By: peter.kocks@bayagte.com Old-Status: Open Status: Feedback Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating system: PHP Version: 4.0 Latest CVS (24/08/2000) Assigned To: jmoore Comments: Can we close this bug? Shall we change php.ini-dist? Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-08-30 21:05:23] jmoore@php.net FW On behalf of Peter Kocks: Yes, ".:" does work in almost every case. The case where it does not is when there is a chdir() in a auto prepend file. However, the real point of this bug report has to do with backwards compatibility, documentation, and error messages. Compatibility: Changes in behavior should be announced in some formal place. So, when people upgrade they can check for potential problems. Documentation: the php.ini-dist should be changed to suggest you put in a ".:" in the include_path(). Error message: Should be more informative in the case where the script_name is not accessible via the include path. If it is the script name, say something about "." in path or something. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-08-25 06:19:30] jmoore@php.net try putting . in your include path. include_path = ".:/usr/test/include" Please give feedback James --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-08-24 12:29:22] peter.kocks@bayagte.com php version php4.0.2RC1 solaris 7 Create this simplest of php scripts called "index.php" in your Document Root. <? echo "hello world<br>"; ?> in php.ini change include_path to whatever include_path = "/usr/test/include" Point your browser to the index.php.
