Bug #14341 Updated: include() html vs file system - variable scope

ID: 14341 User updated by: timneill@hotmail.com Reported By: timneill@hotmail.com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: FreeBSD PHP Version: 4.1.0 New Comment: nope the missing quote is not it - that is simply a typo on my behalf. also the summary should read: include() http vs file system - variable scope Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-04 16:15:41] hholzgra@php.net due to the missing 2nd quote i guess that you do not include "/includes/inc_file but some php file with extension .php? and shell9.vhosting.com is most likely configured to parse and execute .php files? so it deliveres only the *results* of executing the files in a subrequest and not the verabtim content of the requested files try to rename your include files to something like .txt or .inc or whatever your server will deliver 'as is' and everything will work fine ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-04 14:45:30] timneill@hotmail.com hi, i have discovered a bug relating to the scope of variables surrounding and within include files. when i was using a http path for an include command, the include file could only see variables instantiated within the include file. all variables instantiated within the include could not be seen by the page calling the include. however this was not the case when i used a relative path or absolute path using the file system. for example: $rootFile = "/accounts/www73038/www/www.art-co-op.net/html"; $rootDir = "http://shell9.vhosting.com/www73038"; include(../../includes/inc_file); //-- works include($rootFile. "/includes/inc_file); //-- works include($rootHttp. "/includes/inc_file); //-- fails i'm not sure whether this is by design (i'm new to php & in the process of reforming my evil microsoft ways). and i could not find mention of it in the documentation. if you would like to find more information regarding my server and environment: http://shell9.vhosting.com/www73038/phpinfo.php thank you, tim neill. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-04 14:32:41] timneill@hotmail.com hi, i have discovered a bug relating to the scope of variables surrounding and within include files. when i was using a http path for an include command, the include file could only see variables instantiated within the include file. all variables instantiated within the include could not be seen by the page calling the include. however this was not the case when i used a relative path or absolute path using the file system. for example: $rootFile = "/accounts/www73038/www/www.art-co-op.net/html"; $rootDir = "http://shell9.vhosting.com/www73038"; include(../../includes/inc_file); //-- works include($rootFile.
