Description:
------------
The content of the __FILE__ constant is relative while running through a Virtual Host on OS X.

The bug is not seen while working with the CLI version or if the script is not in a VirtualHost directive.

Configure is as follow (majorly taken from OS X compile flags):
'./configure' '--prefix=/usr' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--with-apxs' '--enable-cli' '--with-zlib' '--with-xml' '--enable-exif' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-sockets' '--with-curl=/usr' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--sysconfdir=/private/etc'

Apache is the one distributed with Tiger 10.4.1 (1.3.33).

The same code runs fine on Linux and Windows with the same config (vhosts settings).

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php print __FILE__;

If you try with 2 scripts:

/index.php
/something/index.php

and /index.php contains print __FILE__ and /something/index.php contains include('../index.php'), if you point your browser to /index.php the content of __FILE__ is correct.

If you try /something/index.php, __FILE__ will contains '../index.php'

Does this happen with PHP 5.1-dev?

http://snaps.php.net/php5-latest.tar.gz
 [2005-07-03 01:58 UTC] ohill@php.net 
Yes, same result with 5.1.0-dev (indeed)

Can you explain me why I can't reproduce this on same Macosx version, same apache version and PHP 4.4.0 ??
(yes, I tested within a virtualhost and a subdir in it)

Does your setup have some symlinks somewhere in the path?

I am experiencing the same thing (see also bug #27823 which 
look like a same issue)

a.php:
<?
echo "<pre>";
var_dump(__FILE__);
include"b.php";

b.php:
<?
var_dump(__FILE__);

output:
string(31) "/Users/r/Sites/a.php"
string(7) "./b.php"

expected:
string(31) "/Users/r/Sites/a.php"
string(31) "/Users/r/Sites/b.php"

URL opened:
http://localhost/a.php

httpd.conf:
DocumentRoot "/Users/r/Sites"

php version: 
php-5.1.2

mac os x (intel)

php configure string:
'./configure' \
'--with-xml' \
'--with-zlib' \
'--with-gd' \
'--with-jpeg-dir=/sw' \
'--with-png-dir=/sw' \
'--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs' \
'--with-mysql' \
'--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql'

I AM USING NON-CVS version. I'm going to upgrade NOW and 
will report if it solves the problem.

Ok, I have tried latest CVS and it have the same problem:

PHP Version 5.1.3RC3-dev
checkout / build date: 5 Apr 2006

I played a bit more with getcwd and it would also return 
false. Then it turned out i have no read permissions for one 
of the parent directory. Just as manual says, in this case 
getcwd returns false. 

I have changed permission on that directory and now everything 
works as expected.

If anyone have this issue, check if all the parent directories 
are readable by apache.
