Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Operating System: Gentoo/Linux
PHP Version: 5.2.8
New Comment:
This IS a bug: in Linux (and Unix like systems) beeing in a symlinked
directory should behave exactly like beeing in a directory with the same
content.
To use my example: If I use a shell and change to the folder
/htdocs/test2 (which is a symlink to /test1), ls ../docs/docs.inc.php
will show me the file "/htdocs/docs/docs.inc.php" and NOT
"/docs/docs.inc.php".

Description:
------------
include statement seems to resolve the current working directory other
than the rest of php so if I am in a symlinked directory an try to
include a file using a relative path (containing ../), the include fails
because the original path of the script is used to resolve the relative
include and not the path the script is invoked from.
Reproduce code:
---------------
Asume the following files/directory structure:
Directory /test1
Directory /htdocs
Directory /htdocs/docs
Symlink /htdocs/test2 -> /test1
File /test1/index.php
File /htdocs/docs/docs.inc.php
DocumentRoot is /htdocs
File-Contents of /test1/index.php
<?php
include("../docs/docs.inc.php");
// ... other code
?>
Expected result:
----------------
No error, output generated by code after the include
Actual result:
--------------
An error: failed to open stream: No such file or directory
(/test1/index.php:2)
