I just installed PHP 4.3.0 on 3 different systems. I built apache 1.3.27
and php with the exact same configure strings on each of the three
systems. I am having some strange issues with the cwd.
All systems have the same php.ini and almost identical httpd.conf files.
The directory structure has been mirrored among the three using rsync with
persmission ad users intact. So these all match.
I have a directory "mydir" with a subdirectory "subdir".
The script I am executing is "myscript.php" inside "mydir".
On linux:
I can include("subdir/filename") and it works fine.
On Mac OS X (client):
include("subdir/filename") fails (file not found)
include("./subdir/filename") works
On NetBSd 1.5.3 Mac 68k (yeah, old)
include("subdir/filename") fails (file not found)
include("./subdir/filename") fails (file not found)
Only including the full path works
echo()ing the getcwd() returns an empty string
Including the full path works on all (so that is what I am using).
Any thoughts as to why this is happening, or how to avoid it. Note that
the files are inside a parent directory "/web". FWIW, web is world
executable, but not world readable.
I just tested it with the "/web/" directory 755 (world readable and
executable) and it works!
So the big question is: Am I crazy to expect PHP to work the same way on
these different un*x variants? IS this a known problem, and is there seom
other solution?
If unknown I may just dig through the source myself...
Thanks,

I successfully compiled PHP 4.3.0 on SuSE Linux 7.1 and Apache 1.3.22,
using the same options as my previous version, 4.1.2: --with-mysql
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs. When I start Apache, it cannot
start because libphp4.so "seems to be garbled". What does this mean and
how can I solve this?
Regards,
Edwin

hi all
i would install php with pear support, but i also would manually install pear.
well, to explain better, i would build php with apache, but while building php
i don't want it to modify my pear installation. however i would make use of
pear within php scrips (so i suppose i can't configure php with
--without-pear option...).
can i have any information about it, since php manual is not so clear as i
would...
thank you
bye, stain.

the --without-pear option should work. To continue using your previous pear
installation you just have to make sure that the pear install directory
(usually /usr/share/pear on UNIX) is in your include path (include_path
option on the php.ini file).

It looks like the getcwd call on the BSD systems returns the empty string
because it cannot read the parent directory. On linux getcwd uses the proc
filesystem to get this info when it cannot read the dir. Since the BSDs
(by default) don't have that they fail.
However, PHP should report an error when the PHP getcwd() fails due to
access restrictions. I shall report this as a bug.
A workaround to this, still allowing the scripts to be portable throught
the filesystem (i.e. no hard coded full paths is below):
<?
$scriptDir = dirname(getenv("DOCUMENT_ROOT").getenv("SCRIPT_NAME"));
include_once("$scriptDir/subdir/standard.inc");
...
?>
Include ALL files with the $scriptDir first and you are set. I think this
would be a good general practice to avoid this problem on any system where
it might occur.
