we can always dream ..

I prefer the word "mature" instead of dream ;)

How about something which will save having to resolve that path twice? $realpath = stream_resolve_include_path($relativepath); if ($realpath && is_readable($realpath)) { $fp = fopen($realpath, 'rb', false); } else { /* File isn't readable */ } The code for doing this is all in there, it'd just need some quick exposing to userspace... -Sara

that is an interesting suggestion,.. in researching other options, how about this: string realpath ( string path [, bool use_include_path]) This makes more sense to me, plus it can be done once and wont have to worry about including this in the family of file functions. This seems like a logical place to resolve paths., including file that reside in the relative include-path. Think this can fly? -ralph
