Bug description: Relative paths in require(), require_once(), include(),
include_once()
Description:
------------
Relative paths in require(), require_once(), include(), include_once()
does not resolve correctly (i.e. relative to the file that reference the
script, not the file that execute the script).
Reproduce code:
---------------
Say, there is the main script 'test.php' and two other files, 'a.inc'
and 'b.inc' (in subdirs):
File './test.php':
<?php
require_once( 'include/a/a.inc' );
?>
File './include/a/a.inc':
<?php
require_once( '../b.inc' );
echo 'a.inc ';
?>
File './include/b.inc':
<?php
echo 'b.inc ';
?>
Running 'test.php' fails.
Expected result:
----------------
When a.inc include "../b.inc", it should reference from the location of
./include/a/a.inc, not the executing file, ./test.php.
This happens on both Windows XP and UNIX (Red Hat Linux), and probably all
other platforms (which I can't verify).
This really hurt modularity.
I know this is not consider a bug, but would you improve this please?
(like adding a realtive_include() function would really be nice)
Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../b.inc'
(include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in XXXXX on line 4
