This is my include_path option value :

include_path = ".;c:\php\includes"

Before 4.3.2 everything worked using this path in a script : 

include "/call_php/counter.php"

With 4.3.2 is mandatory to remove the first / so it works only with this path :

include "call_php/counter.php"

or 

include "./call_php/counter.php"

I can't understand this change and it's creating a lot of problems for our web hosting service, simply because there are thousands of scripts based on the old way to use relative paths.

Your version should never have worked... it's not a bug at all that you need to strip that / (it will make PHP to open c:/call_php/counter.php)...

Php 4.2.3 works in a different way.

Even with the / it works. 

A lot of free php scripts are written with this notation.

Now they don't work anymore.

Try to think to 200.000 domain in hosting (we are the web hosting company) where all people working with php and includes have to change their scripts.

It's not so easy, right?

This was already 'broken' (actually it was another bug that was fixed) in PHP 4.3.0. Current behaviour is the correct and documented one.

There is no reason to break it again.
