Operating system: Linux Redhat 7.2
PHP version: 5.0.0RC2
PHP Bug Type: CGI related
Bug description: CGI include/require (realpath) mishandles relative paths
Description:
------------
It appears that when running php from the command line relative paths such
as require("../include/test.php") do not function the same in php4.2.3 and
php5.0.0RC2. Relative paths in php5 are computed relative to the current
directory not relative to the script.
This causes commands (typically run in crontab) like php -f
/www/foo/bar/test.php to break if test.php has require/include statements
that are relative.
Reproduce code:
---------------
The test script (located: /www/www.test.com/test/test.php):
<?php
echo realpath("../test/test.php")
?>
>From command line:
$ cd /www
$ php -f /www/www.test.com/test/test.php
Expected result:
----------------
/www/www.test.com/test/test.php
Actual result:
--------------
When php4 is used, the output is as expected.
When php5 is used, realpath fails and returns FALSE. It appears to
consider realpath("../test/test.php") to be "/test/test.php" (given
current directory of /www). However, if you do "cd
/www/www.test.com/test" and then run the same command, the realpath
returns what is expected (since script location is the same as the current
directory).
