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.

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');

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!
