I have worked around this by doing this:
$main_folder = realpath(dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']).'/..');
include_once($main_folder . '/config.php');
The original, simpler construct still works when calling the page from a
web browser, just not when I run it from the command line.
The new server has a more recent version of PHP (4.3.4). I don't have
the php version of the old server but it was on RedHat 9 - now I'm on
Mandrake 10.
What could be the difference that caused this?
Possibly:

cli php uses path relative to your current directory, cgi php uses path
relative to the executing script.

You can use
ini_set('include_path', realpath(dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']).'/'));
at the beginning of your script as workaround

Marek Kilimajer wrote: cli php uses path relative to your current directory, cgi php uses path relative to the executing script. That IS interesting. That would explain why: php /var/www/myproject/util/my-cli-script.php ... will break unless I execute it from that same directory. I used to be able to do that from anywhere, though - that's why I passed the full path to the script. So it's got to be some configuration that's different, or that this behavior has changed. /Mattias -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

IIRC just after the change php-cli had a switch that allowed the old behaviour, apparently this is not documented in the manual anymore so you probably have to use an absolute path. -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design Hosting * Internet Intranet Applications Development * -- Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general -- /* The whole world is a scab.

Jason Wong wrote: Possibly: manual Using PHP from the command line -c switch From the manual: The CLI SAPI does not change the current directory to the directory of the executed script! Note: The CGI SAPI supports the CLI SAPI behaviour by means of the -C switch when run from the command line. In other words, it's possible to make the CGI version work like the CLI version (using absolute paths only). There seems to be no support for making CLI work like CGI, however. /Mattias -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
