Bug #12783 xmlDocFile needs absolute path

When loading an XML file with xmlDocFile using a relative path (ie the XML is in the same dir as the script), I get:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in [script] at line [#]

The line it points to is the first time I try to reference the object returned by xmlDocFile. If I change this to an absolute path, it works fine. I've verified that the cwd is what I think it is, so... any ideas?

cheers,

For some reason PHP behaves a bit different under win32 than linux:

win32:

C:\phpdev>php -f bla/xmldocfiletest.php
current dir is C:\phpdev

linux:
$ php -f subtest/xmldocfiletest.php 
path is /home/mfischer/src/php/bugtest/domxml/subtest

See the difference?

This tests where run with a call to the system call (!) getcwd() [not php's user function] before the actual file IO happens through libxml2. So this is not a domxml problem but a general PHP problem.

Reclassifying (anyone know a better type?).

This is not a php problem, but a regular windows problem.  Windows is a problem, but its not our fault :)
