Bug description: include(): script directory first!
Description:
------------
I'd like common library writing were as clean as possible regarding
includes. The problem is that "files for including are first looked in
include_path relative to the current working directory and then in the
directory of the current script", and not the other way round, thus forcing
the programmer to write a dirty absolute path, which attemtpts against
maintainability.
A possible solution would be that if the include argument starts with a
dot (.), then maintain current behaviour, else, look in script's directory
first.
Reproduce code:
---------------
File /test.php (run this):
<?php
include('lib/test2.php');
echo "/test.php<br>";
?>
---------------
File /lib/test2.php:
<?php
include('test.php'); //Intends to include /lib/test but includes
/test.php
echo "/lib/test2.php<br>";
?>
---------------
File /lib/test.php:
<?php
echo "/lib/test.php<br>";
?>
Expected result:
----------------
/lib/test.php
/lib/test2.php
/test.php
Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Maximum function nesting level of '100' reached, aborting!
/lib/test2.php on line 2
