Using Apache 1.3.19 on win2k with php as a library.

If i put any value at all for include_path in php.ini, it causes a message like this on every page served:

Warning: Failed opening '/path/to/file.php' for inclusion (include_path='\include\path;.') in Unknown on line 0

So, for an actual example, it would look like this:

Warning: Failed opening '/www/demoxpress.com/html/test/phpinfo.php' for inclusion (include_path='\php\pear;.') in Unknown on line 0


As long as I keep the include_path commented out or only assign an empty string, it works fine (except for not having an include path).

Try this:

include_path=".;C:\path\to\something;C:\path\to\something\else"

Notice the "'s around the path.

I have it like that, with double quotes.  This is an excerpt from my php.ini:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Paths and Directories ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; UNIX: "/path1:/path2"  Windows: "\path1;\path2"
include_path = ".;c:\www\demoxpress.com\html\test"

Does it work with PHP 4.0.6?
 [2001-06-24 02:28 UTC] uhl at cis dot ohio-state dot edu 
nope, exactly the same. :(

On my Win2k box it works just fine, include_path has always been '.' only.
It worked with PHP 4.0.6 and still works with 4.1.0.
Your problem must be caused by something else.

Did more testing, always works for me.

Still have the same problem:

Some configuartion: Win2000 pro, apache 1.3.14 and PHP4.1.1

if the include_path is empty.. no problem
if I put anything in eg 'include_path = ".;\apache\htdocs\" error message is like this: 'Warning: Failed opening '/apache/htdocs/phpinfo.php' for inclusion (include_path='.') in Unknown on line 0'

Everything works fine, if there?s nothing in the include_path.

Do you have a solution in the meantime?

Should be reclassified as documentation problem.

Use:
1) a full reference including the disk, i.e.: .;c:\include\path
2) For virtual hosts, the document root in Apache httpd.conf should follow the same principles, i.e.:
DocumentRoot "c:\www\demoxpress.com\html"

Make this to doc problem.

Current http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php uses full path.
What should be fixed?
 [2002-01-13 15:23 UTC] msopacua at idg dot nl 
The warning should probably go into:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php

The root of this problem, is not the include_path, but the DocumentRoot Apache directive - or any document root setting on a windows webserver.

While any path syntax works for Apache, only windows native works for php. This goes for ISAPI as well, under other webservers, like Sambar. Don't have IIS, so I haven't tested it there. Further more "\" is not always the root of the current disk. I suppose it is, but current probably is current for c:\winnt\system32\php4_ts.dll instead of the webserver executable. Haven't fully debugged that.

In any case, specifying document roots in the windows native path syntax, prefixed with the drive letter, fixes all of the above.

Sorry, problem is still alive:
Now I use the following:

; Windows: "\path1;\path2"
include_path = ".;c:\apache\htdocs\eucarkunden"
; The root of the PHP pages, used only if nonempty.
doc_root = c:\apache\htdocs

Problem is the same 'Warning: Failed opening '/apache/htdocs/index.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;c:\apache\htdocs\eucarkunden') in Unknown on line 0'
 [2002-01-13 16:26 UTC] msopacua at idg dot nl 
Please read:

The document root in -->> Apache's httpd.conf <<--.

Look at your warning:
'Warning: Failed opening '/apache/htdocs/index.php'

Why doesn't that read:
'Warning: Failed opening 'c:\apache\htdocs\index.php'

?
