Description:
------------
The __FILE__ bug under Solaris (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=13936) is still there.
I tried the same script setup under FreeBSD and PHP 4.3.4 where it works like intended.

Reproduce code:
---------------
--- test.php
<?php
print __FILE__;
print "<p>";
require("test2.php");
?>

--- test2.php
<?php
print __FILE__;
?>


Expected result:
----------------
/home/whatever/www/test.php

/home/whatever/www/test2.php

Actual result:
--------------
/home/whatever/www/test.php

./test2.php

It seems to work with the CLI binary i compiled from http://snaps.php.net/php5-latest.tar.gz .

It also works with the 4.3.5 CLI binary.

Alright we upgraded our production machine to http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz
 (PHP Version 4.3.7-dev) in order to test the problem and it is not working.

Same problem.  __FILE__ returns './filename' instead of '/path/to/filename'.

MacOS X Server 10.3.6 / PHP 4.3.9

It seems this bug keeps getting reintroduced.  IMO __FILE__ should return the full path.

It is still happening. I ran into it today, trying to install the newly released Gallery 2.

My system is a Sun Ultra 60, running Solaris 9. I also run Apache 2 and PHP 4.4.0.

I installed Gallery 2 under ~/public_html (i.e. in my home directory). When I moved it into the docroot of Apache, it started working.

I can also reproduce the problem with the two little scripts provided by roy. But only if the scripts are in a subdirectory of /home/markus/public_html. If they are in a subdirectory of the doc-root, everything is fine.
