How about 

include(getenv("DRIVELETTER")."/foo/test.php");

and setting this environment variable locally (chances are it isn't set
on the real webserver).

Cheerio, Marc.

OK, I think I has to use this workaround:

if (strpos($SERVER_SOFTWARE, "Win")) { // Windows - Is there a better
way to detect this?
    $NB_INCLUDE_PATH_PREFIX = substr($DOCUMENT_ROOT, 0, 2); // The
drive letter - Is there a better way to detect this?
} else { // NOT Windows
    $NB_INCLUDE_PATH_PREFIX = "";
}

include ($NB_INCLUDE_PATH_PREFIX . "/foo/test.php");

But I'm not really happy...

Yes,  but  I  do not want to edit anything. I want to upload the files
and then it has to work.

Perhaps you can use something like this:

if (strpos($SERVER_SOFTWARE, "Win")) {
    echo "<font color=\"#FF0000\">WINDOWS</font>";
} else {
    echo "<font color=\"#008000\">Uhh, good...</font>";
}

But it's only a dirty workaround.

I use NT, but that doesn't really matter. What works for me is the
following:

If in httpd.conf, the DocumentRoot is d:/foo/htdocs, then
in php.ini, I set include_path to d:/foo/htdocs as well.

In every script that uses include, specify the relative path from
d:/foo/htdocs (never from the current file!), _without_ a leading /,
e.g. if your include file is d:/foo/htdocs/inc/bla.p, then use
include("inc/bla.p");

You could combine this with tricks like defining a constant
ABS_INCL_PATH, setting this to d:/foo/htdocs and then using
include(ABS_INCL_PATH."/inc/bla.p");

This way you can also create more constants, like
THIS_PROJECT_ABS_INCL_PATH and GENERAL_TOOLBOX_ABS_INCL_PATH.

Switching to a *nix environment is just a matter of redefining your
constants.

Hope this helps, Marc.

Hello,

I tried:

DocumentRoot "d:/foo/htdocs"

DocumentRoot "d:/foo/htdocs/"

DocumentRoot "d:\foo/htdocs"

DocumentRoot "d:\foo/htdocs/"

I used 'php.ini-dist' with include_path set to ".".

Nevertheless,  I can't include files with an absolute path. Statements
with a relative path work properly.

Regards,

Martin

Oh yeah, the other reason I think it's a bug is because 
the behaviour is not consistant between the CGI version 
and the SAPI version of the same build.

If it has to be inconsistant it should be documented.
(proably a blurb on top of include_path in php.ini would
be the best place for it, since people will find that
include_path causes the problem when their doc_root
is set wrong)
