Re: [PHP] Include fails when ./ is in front of file name
I appreciate the help guys. I don't understand what's going on. Here's
what I've tried since posting:
Copied over the PHP binaries and php.ini from my old server to my new one.
No luck.
Copied over the phpMyAdmin from my old server to my new one. No luck.
I've double-checked all permissions. Seriously, what else could there be?!
I repeat:
on old server, include('./file.inc.php') works FINE
on new server, include('./file.inc.php') BREAKS
I'm about to do a replace of ./ with but I know that's giving up!

I'm giving steps to debug and recreate the issue, not to rewrite

cross-platform portability.

I'm not sure where you got that from, error reporting does not differ between Windows and other platforms except where platform-specific differences exist in the implementation (of which there are few). What you're experiencing is probably the effect of the display_errors configuration option. Look it up in the manual for details.

You're right to point it out that it should be included, though I've actually seen some boxes where . was not in the path. I've even seen some cases where .. was erroneously included instead. There's treachery afoot! However, take a look at his include path Noah, I see no reason why PHP's include path should have .\pear in there. Not sure about .\includes, but .\pear likely doesn't exist in every CWD/PWD (depending on your preference in system semantics) from where it's called, and the same would go for .\includes. -- /Daniel P.

both files are in the same directory.
Nitsan -- the problem is apps like phpMyAdmin are littered with
include(./file.inc.php); i'd have to replace all those to use full
paths. it's not a good idea from a servicability statement anyways.
