Description:
------------
While trying to load an XML document into a PHP script that 
runs through the CLI I ran into the following error.

PHP Warning:  DOMDocument::load(): I/O warning : failed to 
load external entity "/var/www/GrahamCracker/FARIntegration/
ORSPRequestTemplate.xml" in /var/www/code/GrahamCracker/
FARIntegration/SynchronizeDatabases.php on line 126
PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function appendChild() on a 
non-object in /var/www/code/GrahamCracker/FARIntegration/
SynchronizeDatabases.php on line 132

The include path was set properly as "/var/www/code" but the 
DOMDocument::load() method tried to use "/var/www" which is 
not listed in the include path.

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Warning:  DOMDocument::load(): I/O warning : failed to 
load external entity "/var/www/GrahamCracker/FARIntegration/
ORSPRequestTemplate.xml" in /var/www/code/GrahamCracker/
FARIntegration/SynchronizeDatabases.php on line 126
PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function appendChild() on a 
non-object in /var/www/code/GrahamCracker/FARIntegration/
SynchronizeDatabases.php on line 132

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

Unless it has changed in 5.2, DOMDocument->load() doesn't use include_path. You have to give it an absolute path or a path relative to the current working directory.

Thank you for that, I looked in the documentation to see if 
that was the fact, but could not find it in the documentation.

That raises another question though, as my script's working 
directory should have been /var/www/code/DataGeneral/
ChronicMan/ and not /var/www...

I had already resolved my problem by simply using an absolute 
path, however if helpful I can continue investigating this.

None of the I/O functions use include_path unless it's specified explicitly.
