From: willwong@samurai.com Operating system: FreeBSD PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: require_once doesn't support relative paths completely I was unable to alter the previous report because I had not entered a password when I reported the bug... It appears to work in simple cases: ie when: /php/test.php /common.php in test.php <? require_once('../common.php'); display_test(); ?> in common.php <? function display_test() { echo 'test'; } ?> But it fails in the following case: /usr/home/willwong/public_html/common.php /usr/home/willwong/public_html/php/common2.php /usr/home/willwong/public_html/php/php2/test.php in test.php <? require_once('../../common.php'); display_test(); ?> in common.php <? require_once('php/common2.php'); ?> in common2.php <? function display_test() { echo 'test'; } ?> This fails with the error: Fatal error: Failed opening required 'php/common2.php' (include_path='') in /usr/home/willwong/public_html/common.php on line 2 -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=12444&edit=1
