hi,
i'm trying to support people newly installing the postnuke system (lots of PHP files including each other), and since about the middle january i see several people that just installed  some PHP package with an include path that is empty or contains '..' in stead of '.' .

This way the relative include('file.php') fails, of course.

Unfortunately these people are so 'newbie' that they cannot even reply where they got PHP from. Either here, in a package or in a linux distribution?? Sorry a about that, i realise it does not help much.
One of them had windows... the others didn't tell...

Chris

Anyway, this is no bug with PHP.

The default is to NOT set the include path in any INI file, which then defaults to

  ".:<your-php-install-dir>/lib/php" on Unix systems

and

  "c:\\php4\\pear" on windows systems

Please not that the latter does not require the current path because, well yeah, that's the way it works under windows as we all know.

Just a personal advice: without talking to your users and getting on track where they got their PHP from you have to be a wizard to solve it.

If you're application only depends on 'itself', it may be an option for you to manually set the include_path (if not forbidden by configuration).
