Bug #52847 [NEW]: Files to include are always searched for in current directory

From: Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Files to include are always searched for in current directory Description: ------------ The documentation at include and include_path suggests that the current directory will not be searched if a '.' is not in include path. Even though I can see no reason (e.g. in the source code referred to by bug #51569) that the current directory should be searched, it can be demonstrated that it is. See also bug #51569 and bug #52845 for further include_path documentation deficiencies. Test script: --------------- 1. Place in a file 'test/test.php': set_include_path('/bin'); // won't find any php files here! include('another.php'); 2. touch another.php 3. php test/test.php Expected result: ---------------- Warning that another.php cannot be found. Actual result: -------------- No warning. N.B. In line with the undocumented feature mentioned in bug #51569, if another.php is moved to test/another.php, it is still found also, because it is in the directory of the running script. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52847&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52847&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52847&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52847&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52847&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52847&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52847&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52847&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52847&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52847&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52847&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52847&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52847&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52847&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52847&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52847&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52847&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52847&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52847&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52847&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52847&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52847&r=mysqlcfg
