since the update from 4.2.3 to 4.3.0RC3 I?ve found several scripts (i.e the pdflib-test-scripts) which have probs with require() and require_once() !

If I have a "master" include file with the following content:
      // Include the classes
      if ( !defined( "INC" ) ) {
	/**
	* Include the main object
	*
	*/
	require_once( "main.inc" );

	/**
	* Include the page object
	*
	*/
	require_once( "page.inc" );

        ...

(main.inc and page.inc are in the same dir as the "master" include (/include) ..)

I get following error when I run my script:
Fatal error: main() [function.main]: Failed opening required 'main.inc' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php:/home/www/web2/html/pdf/pc4p/include') in /home/www/web2/html/pdf/pc4p/include/init.inc on line 36

if i change the require_once to include_once then everything works fine ....

best regards
Harald

Well, the difference between include and require is that require will throw a fatal when it can't find the file and include will just give you a warning.  So, it sounds to me like your new install simply can't find the file in both cases and you are only seeing the fatal error message.  Perhaps your include_path is set differently in this new install?

Hi Rasmus,

I?m sorry to say, but the include path (the path where this script resides ) is: /home/www/web2/html/pdf/pc4p/include
like You can see.

I downloaded the latest Snapshort and reinstalled it a few minutes ago, and I still have the same Probs with ALL my Scripts which use require ....

It can?t be the include path, because if You look at the error output you can see, that the error-location file (init.inc) is in the include path. the files main.inc and page.inc stay in the same Directory :-(

And: it?s NO difference if you use require_once("./main.inc"), require_once("main.inc"), require_once('main.inc') and so on ...

The whole config-set in php.ini had been taken from my old 4.2.3.

PS.: using php as Apache Dynamic .so lib ...

Hi,

as I can see the PHP script 'wirtz_pc4p.php' includes the file 'pc4p_init.inc' which is located in /home/www/web2/html/pdf/pc4p/include/.

The file (pc4p_init.inc) includes other files (without suppling a path) which should be located in

http://www.chiemgaudata.de/pdf/pc4p/ (because this is the current directory)

  or

/home/www/web2/html/pdf/pc4p/include/ (because this is in the include path)

Where is the file 'pc4p_main.inc' located? I tried to list the directory in http://www.chiemgaudata.de/pdf/pc4p, but this wasn't allowed.

Greetings.

Hi,

here is the content:
/home/www/web2/html/pdf/pc4p/
      wirtz_pc4p.php
/home/www/web2/html/pdf/pc4p/include
      pc4p_init.inc
      pc4p_main.inc
      pc4p_page.inc
      ...

so the included files are a.) in the same file as the including file (pc4p_init.inc) and b.) inside the include_path (as listened in the error aoutput).

I had this problem with another script, too, which used nasted require_once() commands (a kind of shop-engine).
With 4.2.3 it works fine, but since 4.3.0RC3 the script got the same problem as the above pdflib-demo ...

Set 'error_reporting=E_ALL' and then try with the include_once() instead.
