#30354 [NEW]: imagecreatefromjpeg() requires absolute path + docs dont make that clear

From: janitor at wonkavision dot net Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: imagecreatefromjpeg() requires absolute path + docs dont make that clear Description: ------------ The other day I spent 2 hours trying to find a bug in my code becasue imagecreatefromjpeg() requires absolute path and the docs dont make it clear that you cannot use a relative path. There is a user comment about this, but I think it probably needs to be in the docs. Thanks for the help! Reproduce code: --------------- imagecreatefromjpeg("nextdir/filename.jpg"); it should be something like imagecreatefromjpeg("var/www/project/nextdir/filename.jpg"); Expected result: ---------------- no output -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30354&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30354&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30354&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30354&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30354&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30354&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30354&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30354&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30354&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30354&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30354&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30354&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30354&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30354&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30354&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30354&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30354&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30354&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30354&r=float MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30354&r=mysqlcfg
