From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: Solaris 8 PHP version: 4.1.2 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: inconsistent behaviour for __FILE__ constant
__FILE__ constant behaviour in PHP seems to have some problems that are Solaris specific, and some problems that are just general. Put the following in a file "test.php": <?php echo "file " . __FILE__; ?> Try: php test.php The expected result is: file <path to test.php>/test.php The result on both Linux and Solaris PHP is: file test.php Now call the same php script VIA the web. The result will be the expected "file <path to test.php>/test.php" on both Linux and Solaris. If this isn't a bug, it seems like maybe an inconsistency in PHP behaviour under different operating modes. However, the problems continue. Change the original test.php script above to: <?php echo "file " . __FILE__ . " "; require_once './tmp/test1.php'; ?> And in tmp/test1.php put the following: <?php echo "file " . __FILE__; ?> Access test.php VIA the web. I expect to see: file /cs/home/jas/www//test.php file /cs/home/jas/www/tmp/test1.php On Linux that's what you'll see. On Solaris, I see: file /cs/home/jas/www/test.php file /tmp/test1.php If I specify a full path to "tmp/test1.php" -- /cs/home/jas/www/tmp/test1.php, then the result is as expected. What's going on with __FILE__? Am I misunderstanding its use? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15793&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=15793&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=15793&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=15793&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=15793&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=15793&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=15793&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=15793&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=15793&r=submittedtwice
