note 114723 added to language.constants.predefined

Just learned an interesting tidbit regarding __FILE__ and the newer __DIR__ with respect to code run from a network share: the constants will return the *share* path when executed from the context of the share. Examples: // normal context // called as "php -f c:\test.php" __DIR__ === 'c:\'; __FILE__ === 'c:\test.php'; // network share context // called as "php -f \\computerName\c$\test.php" __DIR__ === '\\computerName\c$'; __FILE__ === '\\computerName\c$\test.php'; NOTE: realpath('.') always seems to return an actual filesystem path regardless of the execution context. ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 74.112.244.13 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/language.constants.predefined.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/114723 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114723/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114723/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114723/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114723/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114723/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114723/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/114723 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/114723 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
