Note Submitter: pabloa at trustedtranslations dot net ---- If you have a file /home/user/test.txt then all these calls will work fine: <? readfile("/home/user/test.txt"); // obviously, but also ... readfile("/home/something_else/../user/test.txt"); // and even ... readfile("/home/one/../user/two/../test.txt"); ?> This is even if no directory called "something_else" or "one", "two", exist. It took me hours to figure this out.
