Not clear to me why the issue status was changed to "Bogus". As far as I can tell multiple people have same issue. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-24 15:14:47] chunan at zingy dot com I am also having problems with the include() function. I also agree that relative includes should always be relative to the current script. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-18 17:51:28] schapht at drexel dot edu I am using version 4.3.2, and I have this problem. I also agree that the php include behavior hurts modularity. I can't reuse classes w/o modifying the code to handle the new parent-script path. Please tell me there's a fix for this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-13 09:57:57] php at arantius dot cjb dot net I'm sure I can get around this, but things really would be nice if this worked. Situation is a very modular web site, with many files to be included, some class definitions, and some other fuctions. Off of the root /, there is /classes and /plugins . A file in /plugins is included from a file in /, and depends on a file in /classes. In other words: /main.php includes /plugin/driver.php /plugin/driver.php includes /classes/Item.php But, within /plugin/driver.php, the statement require_once "../classes/Item.php" fails. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-07 20:36:57] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with PHP. Unfortunately your version of PHP is too old -- the problem might already be fixed. Please download a new PHP version from http://www.php.net/downloads.php If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open". Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-05 00:33:02] vvo at geocities dot com I was happy for awhile, but eventually I noticed a problem with *some* relative paths (in version 4.1.1). Say, there is the main script 'test.php' and two other files, 'a.inc' and 'b.inc' (in subdirs): File './test.php': <?php require_once( 'include/a/a.inc' ); ?> File './include/a/a.inc': <?php require_once( '../b.inc' ); echo 'a.inc '; ?> File './include/b.inc': <?php echo 'b.inc '; ?> Running 'test.php' fails with: Fatal error: Failed opening required '../b.inc' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/geeba/include/a/a.inc on line 2 This isn't intended, is it? Thank you! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
