I've seen a few bugs registered on this before and the 
dev team hasn't seemed to have been able to replicate
this bug...

The bug is very strange in that it effects the SAPI
version of the code on Win2K, but the same build running
as a CGI .EXE is not effected.

Specifically, when one puts ANYTHING as the value for 
*include_path* in the PHP.ini file the apache SAPI will
fail.   

When I say anything this includes setting it to only ".", 
which should work for the local directory's includes.

Here is the message you get (fyi the file being processed
has no include/require statements and it there is no prepend
or append file set in PHP.ini -- 4.1.0)

Warning: Failed opening '/htdocs/test/dir.php' for inclusion
(include_path='.') in Unknown on line 0

I have observed this bug 4.06, 4.08, 4.1.0 ...
I'm not sure if other breeds of Win32 are effected.

This is a problem with your permissions. Check if the webserver has read access to the file.

When my PHP.ini is set with:
include_path = 
-> I have no problems with SAPI version

When it is set to: 
include_path = "."
-> It gives that error...   

I don't understand how this could be a permissions
issue, why would the web server be able to read the 
file when include_path is blank but not when the 
include_path is set to the local directory?

I've seen the error on UNIX systems when you have
a file set to 600, but this is Win2K.

There is no specific need to set it to ".". It's the default.

Windows NT & 2000 have a permission-system (NTFS). Check it out.

If it is the same as the default, shouldn't it work?

If I can't get 
  include_path="." 
to work under Win2K SAPI, how would
 include_path=".;C:\PHP\includes"
ever be able to function?

Thanks, I'll try the folder permissions thing.

Apache was able to read static HTML, before I did
the the following:
- set "Full control" to user "Everyone" 
- set PHP.ini -> include_path = ".:/php/includes"

I still get the same error:

Warning: Failed opening '/apache/htdocs/curl_banking.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/php/includes') in Unknown on line 0

(again the file has no include/require statements)

Please advise.
 [2001-12-17 12:06 UTC] garth at utmail dot to 
sorry, 
changed it back to 

include_path = "."

restarted apache

Windows needs a ; as seperator between include paths, not :

yep I know, uncommented the wrong line... effect is the same... 

Changed PHP.ini to
include_path = ".;y:\apache\includes"

restarted apache

I think this is a duplicate of bug #11612
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=11612

Here's a summary of the bug:

Error Message:
Warning: Failed opening '/apache/htdocs/helloworld.php' for inclusion (include_path='.')
in Unknown on line 0

Script to create error:
<?php
echo "hello world";
?>

When it appears:
- Appears only in PHP SAPI/APX plug-in for Apache on 
Windows 2000... 4.06, 4.08, 4.1.0 are all effected.
- The error occurs only when include_path is given 
a value (any value including '.')

When it doesn't appear:
- In PHP SAPI/APX plug-in when include_path is not set,
there's no problem.
- When running the CGI version (PHP.EXE) of the same releases there's no problem.

Possible workarounds that were tried and don't work:
- Opening folder permissions to 'Everyone' with 'Full Control'.
- Using just setting include_path to '.'
- Switching the order of include_path dirs
  i.e. 'C:\Apache\includes\;.'
- Using php_value include_path '.' in Apache's httpd.conf
