ID: 23610 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Summary: PATH_TRANSLATED is EMPTY Reported By: support at sensvirtuel dot com -Status: Closed +Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Linux (redhat 8.0) -PHP Version: 4.3.1 +PHP Version: 4.3.2 New Comment:
Agreed, especially since this change took place in PHP 4.3.2 and not PHP 5.0.0. Should that note be removed from the migration5 docs? I added a note within the PATH_TRANSLATED docs, updated the note in ref.apache, and replaced PATH_TRANSLATED with SCRIPT_FILENAME in the highlight_file() example. Thank you Kevin for the report. There is another open bug report out there that requests every BC break to be documented...like this one. Once done, this information will be added there as well. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-26 21:01:37] phpbugs at kevin dot offwhite dot net I just spent a good amount of time trying to figure out why PATH_TRANSLATED suddenly stopped working on me. Therefore I think you still have a couple documentation issues regarding this. 1) The first place I looked, and the first place I would suspect other people would look, to see if the variable stopped being supported at a certain revision is: http://us3.php.net/reserved.variables 2) The example code for highlight_file() should be changed to not use the non-existant PATH_TRANSLATED variable: http://us4.php.net/highlight_file ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-19 16:52:34] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. This was already in the migration from PHP 4 to PHP 5 appendice. I've just copied the note to the apache function reference. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-18 01:03:47] [EMAIL PROTECTED] No, read the other comments. Resetting this to a Documentation problem, which it is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-17 21:39:46] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is there any chance to implement it? Some old scripts may rely on this feature, including REDIRECT_URL (used in phpdoc's livedocs). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-19 08:41:07] fillmore at nrcan dot gc dot ca We recently upgraded PHP from 4.3.0 to 4.3.2, and some of our scripts are now broken because they use PATH_TRANSLATED to compute the document root directory of the web site, but PATH_TRANSLATED is now empty. Is there another reliable method to find the document root? We are running the NSAPI version of PHP on iPlanet Web Server 6.0. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
