ID: 14165 Comment by: hobocat at hotmail dot com Reported By: steve at petabit dot com Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.0.5 Assigned To: irchtml New Comment: The exact same script that works just fine using a domain name will fail if I call the same file using the IP address of the same server? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-17 15:54:59] irchtml@php.net This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-17 15:13:13] irchtml@php.net I'll be more than happy to add a note in the documentation. Perhaps I did overlook the fact that it needs more clarification, but that does not warrant a personal attack. Thanks for your report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-17 15:02:13] steve at petabit dot com irchtml@php.net you are an arrogant bastard aren't you? If six people over 16 months have had to debate what an oversimplified paragraph means, don't you think that "pretty clear" might not be an appropriate way to describe said oversimplified paragraph? Just because it's clear to you, doesn't make it clear. In my case, the only clear explanation I've seen is that from elmicha#phpdotnet earlier in this thread. Tim and kenny have both seen that there's missing clarity with respect to remote servers, and tried to understand and explain the implications of your "perfectly clear" paragraph. But those who have been concerned with trying to make themselves feel smart (like you), or with trying to make me feel stupid for asking (like brianlmoon), rather than actually thinking about the problem, simply make me sad for the entire group of geeks to which I once belonged. I hope you're all replaced by low-paid Indian and Chinese programmers and have to flip "pretty clear" hamburgers for a living. Have I been "pretty clear"? Call me, you supercilious geek, and I'll happily tell you off in person.

"When a file is included, the code it contains inherits the variable scope of the line on which the include occurs. Any variables available at that line in the calling file will be available within the called file, from that point forward." Status -> Closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-12 12:25:26] steve at petabit dot com elmicha below has answered my question perfectly well and explained the results I got too. To my mind, this docbug should be considered closed when elmicha's explanation is included in the docs for include().
