Description:
------------
If the php internal server is launched using php -S localhost:8001 -t /myPath 
server_process.php

and server_process.php is in /myPath the following would result

Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in Unknown on 
line 0

Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required 'server_process.php' 
(include_path='.;C:\php\pear') in Unknown on line 0

Obviously using: ... -t /myPath /myPath/server_process.php
works as expected, 

but it would seem intuitive that when using: 

php -S localhost:8001 -t something

that "something" would be automatically added to the include_path ?

P.S. the php internal server is a brilliant addition, facilitates making virtual 
desktop applications in the browser a cinch! Allows the leveraging of browser 
technology jQuery and all the rest with php on the client -- very powerful!!!

Add in http://gluescript.sourceforge.net/ http://gtk.php.net/ or simillar for 
local wxWdiget dialogues called as necessary from php 
http://php.net/manual/en/function.system.php and an almost complete powerful  
solution is available.

This is my first patch so I may have missed something. This patch simply prepends 
the document root to include_path for each request.

Hi, Stuart

    I think add doc-root to include_path may impact the behavior of your 
application, because this changes the include path of your application too. 
maybe some application didn't add docroot to it's include_path , but the server 
add it. (include require autoload etc.).

    if you just want to set router script easily, I don't think it deserve the 
change.  And this behavior different with the way we use cli tools:
ie:
$ ls -l file.php
just print the information of  $PWD's file.php but not some other folder's 
file.php. This is confusing

If we want to add include path maybe a new option like -I /new/include/path 
maybe useful.

so -1 for me ;-)

Thanks.

You don't need a new flag.

php -B ini_set('include_path', get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . '/myPath')

NOTE:
Never used -B, so maybe you need "" around it or whatever, but you get the point.

IMHO no, because I wouldn't put the router script in the docroot in the first place.

For the stated reasons, this is unlikely to be implemented, so I'm
closing the ticket as WONTFIX.  If anybody still thinks this would
be a good feature, please pursue the RFC process[1].
