quite normal : not a bug Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-12-09 18:17:42] dennis dot birkholz at nexxes dot net Description: ------------ include statement seems to resolve the current working directory other than the rest of php so if I am in a symlinked directory an try to include a file using a relative path (containing ../), the include fails because the original path of the script is used to resolve the relative include and not the path the script is invoked from. Reproduce code: --------------- Asume the following files/directory structure: Directory /test1 Directory /htdocs Directory /htdocs/docs Symlink /htdocs/test2 -> /test1 File /test1/index.php File /htdocs/docs/docs.inc.php DocumentRoot is /htdocs File-Contents of /test1/index.php <?php include("../docs/docs.inc.php"); // ... other code ?> Expected result: ---------------- No error, output generated by code after the include Actual result: -------------- An error: failed to open stream: No such file or directory (/test1/index.php:2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46814&edit=1
