we built today and are still having problems with the include_path.  it seems to occasionally null out, but can work everytime by putting :

ini_set('include_path', ini_get('include_path'));

before including anything found in the include_path.

this has been happening since 4.0.6, if not earlier.  Apache 1.3.20

I've seen this bug come up once and a while. It seemed to be to happen on the first request to each server process, so if apache keeps children around a long time, it almost never happens. But if max_request_per_child (or whatever) is set lower, it seems to happen more frequently. [ this purely from memory, i will try to duplicate this ... ]
 [2002-07-16 09:28 UTC] jflemer@php.net 
Just as a note. This still happens with:
Apache-1.3.26
PHP-4.2.1
Solaris 8 (SunOS 5.8)

It's fairly infrequent, but still occasionally get:

Warning: Unable to access PEAR.php in foo.php on line 42
Fatal error: Failed opening required 'PEAR.php'
(include_path='') in foo.php on line 42

As Aaron suggested, adding this code fixes it:
ini_set('include_path', ini_get('include_path'));

Wierd..never noticed this before. Does it happen with this
snapshot:

http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz
 [2002-07-19 15:51 UTC] aaron dot hawley at uvm dot edu 
that snapshot seems to require absolute pathnames, or atleast rejust relative paths?

i haven't noticed a warning being generated.  but this is on our non-production and "less stressed" test web server.
 [2002-08-08 09:16 UTC] aaron dot hawley at uvm dot edu 
here is more information on that snapshot we installed; in particular the requirement of absolute paths.  it seems to not drop the 'include_path' information - which is good, but it also doesn't seem to use the value either.

Warning: main("Class.php") - No such file or directory in /usr/local/http-data/htdocs/foo/foo.php on line 2

Fatal error: Failed opening required 'Class.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /usr/local/http-data/htdocs/foo/foo.php on line 2

php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz > 08-Aug-2002 09:02   3.3M

still appears that the include_path value doesn't get dropped, but it also doesn't get used.

Any chance you can try the non-stable, development branch of this?

I am experiencing the same issue with my hosting provider! Plaform is:
* FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE
* Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) FrontPage/5.0.2.2510 mod_ssl/2.8.11         OpenSSL/0.9.6a
* PHP 4.2.3

I have to do the ini_set('include_path', ini_get('include_path')); trick to pick up any PEAR classes.

It seems, however, that if I set the include_path in an .htaccess directive, the problem completely goes away...

If I can help diagnose this, I'd be happy to.

Patrick
