#30881 [Opn->Bgs]: C++ like include (path/search) in PHP?

ID: 30881 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: ovdspek at liacs dot nl -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Debian Linux Sarge PHP Version: 4.3.9 New Comment: >In that case, please update your documentation so it >doesn't say it'll search relative to the directory of >current script. All SAPIs except CLI DO search relative to the directory of current running script. But you're using CLI and this feature is documented too. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-26 10:12:22] ovdspek at liacs dot nl In that case, please update your documentation so it doesn't say it'll search relative to the directory of current script. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-26 09:42:24] derick@php.net That doesn't matter. It will NOT change and NOT added. Please stop reopening this bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-26 09:29:15] ovdspek at liacs dot nl > All other SAPIs will chdir to the scripts directory. CLI will not. Isn't that what Tony said too? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-26 01:33:42] edink@php.net All other SAPIs will chdir to the scripts directory. CLI will not. This is not a bug, so please don't reopen this report. You can always use: include dirname(__FILE__).'/../1.php'; to solve your problem with relative paths in includes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-25 23:59:46] ovdspek at liacs dot nl I'm not asking for PHP (CLI) to change the cwd to that of the script. I'm only asking for PHP to look for files *relative to the directory of the current script*, as the documentation claims it does. Note that the directory of the current script is *not* equivalent to the cwd (current working directory). > Files for including are first looked in include_path relative to the current working directory and then in include_path relative to the directory of current script. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
