Re: PHP Support Not Taking Issues Seriously

I think that TOny quite explains this issue by even quoting from our fine manual.

While I agree with your feelings Derick about everything else in John's email, I am not sure the manual is clear here. From his bug report, I changed wsfile.php to: <? $curdir = getcwd(); $include_path = ini_get('include_path'); $paths = explode(":", $include_path); foreach($paths as $path){

    if(empty($path)) continue;
    echo "Is file found at $curdir/".$path.'/../inc/incfile.php ?';

    if(file_exists("$curdir/".$path.'/../inc/incfile.php')){
        echo " Yes!\n";
    } else {
        echo " No!\n";
    }

} include '../inc/incfile.php'; print "Hi! I'm wsfile!\n"; ?> I get: Is file found at /home/brianm/public_html/./../inc/incfile.php ? No! Is file found at /home/brianm/public_html//usr/local/lib/php/../inc/incfile.php ? No! Is file found at /home/brianm/public_html//www/codelib/include/../inc/incfile.php ? No!

Clearly the files is findable. And the manual does not explain why. It only states that the scripts dir will not be searched. But, it does not need to be for this unless I am missing something.
