Bug #52845 [NEW]: Documentation wrong re includes with relative paths

From: Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Documentation wrong re includes with relative paths Description: ------------ The documentation about how relative includes work must be wrong. It states that the include path is not checked when any kind of path (relative or absolute) is given. Note also the deficiency noted in bug #51569, also related to poor documentation of how the include path/include statement works. Test script: --------------- include('PHPUnit/Framework.php'); Expected result: ---------------- According to the documentation, I expect a warning about non-existent file PHPUnit/Framework.php, as this doesn't exist relative to the cwd or the directory of the script, but somewhere inside PEAR's repository (referenced in the include path). Actual result: -------------- The file is successfully found and included. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52845&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52845&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52845&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52845&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52845&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52845&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52845&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52845&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52845&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52845&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52845&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52845&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52845&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52845&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52845&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52845&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52845&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52845&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52845&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52845&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52845&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52845&r=mysqlcfg
