note 46774 deleted from function.include by sean

Note Submitter: guy at lifetoward dot net ---- It appears that as require and include search for the file to include, they have a strange behavior as regards symlinks. Consider the following: /thisdir/myprogram.php -> /otherdir/myprogram.php /thisdir/mycommon.php And as you are running under a webserver, it's accessing myprogram.php as /thisdir/myprogram.php. Seems normal. Now, inside myprogram.php you have: require_once('mycommon.php'); This will NOT find /thisdir/mycommon.php ! It will instead apparently search /otherdir as myprogram.php's current directory and come up empty, causing require to fail. I proved this by finding that if /otherdir/mycommon.php exists, it will get included instead. This borders on a bug for me. It means that I can't have app instances which are made of symlinks to a base set of php programs but having separate configuration variables as might be included in a require statement like above. I am still looking for ways around this, but I thought in the meantime I'd mention it. ---- Reason: useless note
