From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: linux PHP version: 4.1.2 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: periods in path-to-included-file are removed
For some reason, when i require a file with an absolute path that has multiple periods in it, the periods WILL be removed from the path-to-the-included-file. example: --------------------------- $_maindir = "/path/to.an.includedir/files/"; require($_maindir."includefile.inc"); --------------------------- the result will be: --------------------------- Fatal error: Failed opening required '/path/toanincludedir/files/includefile.inc' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /path/to.an.includedir/files/index.php on line 3 --------------------------- What's the deal here? seems kinda annoying when having an isp with multiple virtual hosts, and wanting to use the complete website address in the path to the files. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17177&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17177&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17177&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17177&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17177&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17177&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17177&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17177&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17177&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17177&r=globals
