Since I upgraded to PHP 4.3, all of the includes on my Web sites quite working (hundereds of them).

I've tried poking around in the php/ini file; modifying include_path and what not and finally had to give up and go back to last 4.2 version.

Here is an example of what does not work (I get a warning saying that it cannot find the file).
<?php include('/includes/login_code.php'); ?>

If I modify this so that the link to relative to the current document it works fine.
<?php include('includes/login_code.php'); ?>

What gives?

When you use include("/some/path"); you are using
the absolute path in the file system, not the relative
path to your webroot.

With your example the file have to be located in
X:\includes\login_code.php where X is the drive where
your webroot is located.

Not a bug, expected behaviour.

Please explain why this worked just fine under version 4.2?
 [2003-01-28 23:09 UTC] sniper@php.net 
Because the behaviour before 4.3 was wrong and was fixed.
