Description:
------------
If I try to view the source of e.g. /backend/index.php using:
http://www.php.net/source.php?url=/backend/index.php
I get an error message:

Invalid file or folder specified

But I can view it using:
http://www.php.net/source.php?url=/manual/../backend/index.php

Well, the source page just tries to check some files so what is not intended for the usual viewers will not be viewed. There are multiple options to get those files for anyone (like setting up a local mirror site), so you have not found a security hole :) By the way, I have added a check on the .. component, so there will be no such inconsistencies in the future.
