Pretty clearly. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-05 09:57:50] sniper@php.net No need to have two reports about exactly same issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-04 19:13:40] csaba at alum dot mit dot edu Oops, that's not how I verified (I was mixing tests there). I verified using: php.exe -d auto_prepend_file=pop.php -r popup('Hi'); php-win.exe -d auto_prepend_file=pop.php -r popup('Hi'); and these both failed since they didn't find popup defined. Please see http://bugs.php.net/34367 for a distinct but related bug. Csaba ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-09-04 18:35:00] csaba at alum dot mit dot edu I'd like to add that this bug exists on my 2005 Aug 31 PHP 5.1 / Win XP Pro. It seems that it is a bug and not a documentation problem, because each of php.exe, php-win.exe, and php-cgi.exe include the auto_prepend_file if invoked in interactive mode. Please change the Category appropriately. Here's how I tested (must be on a windows system): Make one file, pop.php: <?php function popup($text, $title="PHP popup") { $oWSH = new COM("WScript.Shell"); if (is_null($text)) $text = "NULL"; $oWSH->Popup($text, 4, $title, 131120); } popup ("inside pop.php"); ?> now it may be tested as follows from the command line (type in one single long line at the prompt from the directory of php.php): echo "<?php popup('prepend OK');var_dump(get_included_files());exit(); ?>" | php.exe -d auto_prepend_file=pop.php -a Of course you can replace php.exe with php-win.exe or php-cgi.exe In all three cases you get the expected behaviour of two popups showing. It would be very useful to have this bug fixed for my situation where I want to have an automatic include file for the CLI versions of PHP, but I want to disable that include file when I fall into PHP via Apache. Which disabling I would do my means of the apache directive: PHP_value auto_prepend_file none Csaba Gabor from Vienna PS. I have verified that the -r version does not work by typing, from the command line: php.exe -r pop.php php-win.exe -r pop.php (php-cgi.exe doesn't take a -r argument) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-06-22 09:38:44] gk at proliberty dot com Description: ------------ auto_prepend_file, auto_append_file values are not effective in command line (CLI-SAPI) code: php -r <code> The value of auto_prepend_file is correctly reported as having been read from the php.ini file (or equivalent -d command line assignment), but the file is not 'prepended' prior to execution of command line code. If this is by design, then this behavior is inconsistent with how other php.ini values are respected in the command line code environment and should be documented since it is not intuitive. Please do not bogusify this report. If not a design bug, then this is a documentation bug and a feature request. Reproduce code: --------------- cat /auto_prepend_file.php <?php echo __FILE__."\n"; ?> php -d auto_prepend_file=/auto_prepend_file.php -r 'echo "code";'; Expected result: ---------------- auto_prepend_file.php code Actual result: -------------- code ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=33430&edit=1
