#24251 [Opn->Ana]: include paths with include*()/require*() (again)

ID: 24251 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: qurve at qurve dot com -Status: Open +Status: Analyzed -Bug Type: *Directory/Filesystem functions +Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: FreeBSD 4.7 PHP Version: 4.3.2 New Comment: It's working just like it is supposed to be working. The working directory (cwd) is the one for the 'main' script, a.php in your case. NOT the directory where the 'sub' scripts are located. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-21 12:35:12] qurve at qurve dot com I should also note that this behavior isn't even consistent: +---+----------------+------------+----------------+-------------------+----------+ | # | file | includes | should include | actually includes | correct? | +---+----------------+------------+----------------+-------------------+----------+ | 1 | /root/a.php | b/b.php | /root/b/b.php | /root/b/b.php | yes | | 2 | /root/b/b.php | b2.php | /root/b/b2.php | /root/b/b2.php | yes | | 3 | /root/b/b2.php | ../c/c.php | /root/c/c.php | /c/c.php | no | +---+----------------+------------+----------------+-------------------+----------+ Behavior 1 works as it should Behavior 2 works as it should Behavior 3 works not as expected Behavior 2 and 3 are inconsistent with each other. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-18 21:26:50] qurve at qurve dot com Description: ------------ This was posted previously, but I did not feel the issue was really answered by the responses and I upgraded to 4.3.2 and it's still like this. I'm not sure whether this is how it's supposed to work, but if it is I'm amazed because it's extremely counter-intuitive. '.' should always be relative to the script that is calling include*()/require*() even if that script was include*()'d/require*()'d itself. full write-up here: http://www.qurve.com/broken_paths.txt Reproduce code: --------------- http://www.qurve.com/broken_paths.txt Expected result: ---------------- /root/a.php includes: "b/b.php" /root/b/b.php includes: "../c/c.php" php should include /root/c/c.php Actual result: -------------- /root/a.php includes: "b/b.php" /root/b/b.php includes: "../c/c.php" php attempts to include /c/c.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24251&edit=1
