Hi,

I have installed Apache 2.0.40 and PHP 4.3-dev

and I have a Programm (horde.org) that isn't working.

I have analyze the scripts and I see that they use the file_exists() function with relative path's.

I wrote a Test Script with 
echo file_exists ("./test.txt");

and when I run it, I get back a 0

When I set the full path to the file, then I get back a 1.

If I test the mini-script on PHP 4.2.2 on shell, it works with relativ path's.

After that I added this:
echo getcwd();
to show whether the Apache starts the PHP Script in the correct directory, and it were right.
So I think it is a PHP 4.3 bug in file_exists()

Greetings
Jan

Can you confirm this with Apache 1.3.x?
 [2002-08-15 12:46 UTC] jan dot lange at artada dot de 
No, I can't it!

I have only Apache 2.0.40 installed.

Shall I install 1.3.x ?

I haven't many time for the next days, I can test it
on Monday, not sooner. Because my httpd.conf config-file is specialised for apache2, and won't work with apache 1.3 without some modifications.

If you could test with it, it would be appriciated.  Please realize that PHP's support of Apache2 is experimental, and is not assured to work at this time.

Hi!

I have installed Apache 1.3.26, and recompiled
php4-200208150600 with the same options.

Than I modified little bit my Apache2 httpd.conf
File so that it is working with Apache 1.3.x.

After that I have tested the file_exists() function with relativ path's, and now it works.

Is it now a Apache2 bug or a PHP Apache2 API (Filter) bug?

Next I will test it with Apache 2.0.39 and PHP-STABLE snapshot (4.2.3-dev).

Greetings

Changing to an Apache2 bug
 [2002-09-09 05:25 UTC] sniper@php.net 
Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip

And use Apache 2.0.40. This was reported to work with PHP 4.3.0-dev.

Observed the bug with Apache 2.0.40 and PHP 4.2.3 at FreeBSD.
