Description:
------------
I have the following file structure (folders in uppercase for better understanding):

DOCROOT
 |
 +- LIB
 |   |
 |   +- functions.php
 |
 +- SUBROOT
     |
     +- index.php
     |
     +- LIB
         |
         +- functions.php


The 'index.php' file uses the require() function to include both 'functions.php' files (that have different contents). When running 'index.php', a "Cannot redeclare function" error occurs.
Pay attention at the error message: the compiler says that the same function is redeclared in the same file on different lines!

Reproduce code:
---------------
DOC_ROOT/LIB/functions.php
--------------------------
<?
echo "Here is DOCROOT\\LIB\\functions.php<br>";

function anyfunction($param)
{
	return $param;
}
?>


DOCROOT/SUBROOT/LIB/functions.php
---------------------------------
<?
echo "Here is DOCROOT\\SUBROOT\\LIB\\functions.php<br>";
?>


DOC_ROOT/SUBROOT/LIB/index.php
------------------------------
<?
require("../lib/functions.php");
require("lib/functions.php");

echo anyfunction("Hello World!");
?>


Expected result:
----------------
Here is DOCROOT\LIB\functions.php
Here is DOCROOT\SUBROOT\LIB\functions.php
Hello World!


Actual result:
--------------
Here is DOCROOT\LIB\functions.php
PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare anyfunction() (previously declared in C:\doc_root\lib\functions.php:4) in E:\doc_root\lib\functions.php on line 7

Sorry. I mistyped the Actual Result. The correct message is:
PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare anyfunction() (previously declared in
E:\docroot\lib\functions.php:4) in E:\docroot\lib\functions.php on
line 7
 [2004-04-06 15:10 UTC] faraco dot phpbugs at mailnull dot com 
The same script runs perfectly on PHP 4.3.4.
 [2004-04-06 15:21 UTC] faraco dot phpbugs at mailnull dot com 
Here is the confirmation of the bug. Changing index.php to:
<?
echo realpath("../lib/functions.php")."<br>";
echo realpath("lib/functions.php");
?>

Expected result is:
E:\docroot\lib\functions.php
E:\docroot\subroot\lib\functions.php

While actual result is:
E:\docroot\lib\functions.php
E:\docroot\lib\functions.php

What if you turn off ISAPI caching?
 [2005-05-16 22:07 UTC] faraco dot phpbugs at mailnull dot com 
I've disabled ISAPI cache and the problem persists.
 [2005-05-16 22:34 UTC] faraco dot phpbugs at mailnull dot com 
Another way to explain the problem...

Following de example above:

1. when I require 'lib/functions.php', the file is first looked in my domain document root ['docroot/lib/'] and then in my actual path ['subroot/lib'] because if I delete the first directory, the same script finds the second directory;

2. Yes, my 'include_path' is set to '.';

3. Again, ISAPI Caching is disabled.
