Description:
------------
If you are in directory: rootdir/

and you require file: rootdir/dir/file1.php

and file1.php requires file2.php

if a file named file2.php does not exist in rootdir/, then file2 will be rootdir/dir/file2.php,

BUT, if a file named file2.php exists in rootdir/, then file2 will be rootdir/file2.php

Reproduce code:
---------------
#### base.php
require 'somedir/file1.php';

#### file1.php
require 'file2.php';



Expected result:
----------------
if ./file2.php exists, then file1.php will include ./file2.php

if ./file2.php does not exist and ./somedir/file2.php exists, then file1.php will include ./somedir/file2.php

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Use absolute path if you don't want require() to use include_path.
