FW On behalf of Peter Kocks:

Yes, ".:" does work in almost every case. The case where it does not is when there is a chdir() in a auto prepend file.
 
However, the real point of this bug report has to do with backwards compatibility, documentation, and error messages.
 
Compatibility: Changes in behavior should be announced in some formal place. So, when people upgrade they can check for potential problems.
 
Documentation: the php.ini-dist should be changed to suggest you put in a ".:" in the include_path().
 
Error message: Should be more informative in the case where the script_name is not accessible via the include path. If it is the script name, say something about "." in path or something.

try putting . in your include path.

include_path = ".:/usr/test/include"

Please give feedback

Create this simplest of php scripts called "index.php" in your Document Root.

<?
   echo "hello world<br>";
?>

in php.ini change include_path to whatever

include_path = "/usr/test/include"

Point your browser to the index.php. I get the warning message:

Warning: Failed opening 'index.php' for inclusion (include_path='/usr/test/include') in Unknown on line 0

This is new behaviour that will cause problems when php is released.

Details on my build:

        ./configure
        --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
        --with-config-file-path=/var/baygate/www/conf
        --enable-track-vars
        --enable-trans-sid
        --with-ndbm
        --with-informix=/opt/informix/prod
        --with-system-regex
        --enable-sysvsem
        --enable-sysvshm

APACHE = apache_1.3.12
PHP = php-4.0.2RC1
MODSSL = mod_ssl-2.6.6-1.3.12
Solaris 2.7
