Bug description: Relative paths in require(), require_once(), include(),
include_once()
Here is an example of how relative paths are currently resolved with cascading
inclusions (command line is 'php /home/joe/a.php'):
File '/home/joe/a.php':
<?php
# this include works as expected,
# locating '/home/joe/include/b.inc'
include_once( 'include/b.inc' );
?>
File '/home/joe/include/b.inc':
<?php
# this include will assume '/home/joe/c.inc', but
# not '/home/joe/include/c.inc', as one may expect =(
include_once( 'c.inc' );
?>
File '/home/joe/include/c.inc':
<?php
echo 'hello';
?>
The way all four functions [require(), require_once(), include(), include_once()]
resolve relative paths is counter-intuitive and unproductive with large directory
structures, because some trickery is required to fix this problem. Not to mention that
it hurts to see a different behavior from C-preprocessor #include directives.
If you don't believe me, then see comments to the include() function...
