Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php Thank you for your interest in PHP. Server variables are made avaliable to PHP by the Web server, in your case IIS 4.0. Guess what, IIS 4.0 does not export/set a variable DOCUMENT_ROOT, which is why PHP does not have it. In fact you should not be using DOCUMENT_ROOT but rather include_path like [EMAIL PROTECTED] suggested. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-19 20:12:16] [EMAIL PROTECTED] looks like a bug, - but as an aside, you could consider.. #nicest - or add it to php.ini ini_set('include_path', 'standard/install/location'); #which enables all includes to look include 'Database/TableClass.php'; #klunky, but effective include dirname(__FILE__).'/../../somefile.php'); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-19 20:03:54] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Typo... build is 1381 NT 4.0 Server ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-19 20:01:07] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Major problem making PHP4 useless in a large development portal/enterprise scenario!!! PHP 4.2.2 Windows NT 4.0 Server Build 1382 IIS 4.0 Calling $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] results in an unknown index The ramifications of this bug is serious enough to cripple my entire development as I will not be able to include() or require() files across many directories. My development is in Windows, however my hosts are in Unix/Linux. I simply cannot use ini_get('doc_root') as a solution because then I have to switch the entire code to $_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT] before uploading to the servers. I can't believe noone else posted this bug anywhere - because it is on a plain Windows NT server system! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19510&edit=1
