[PHP-DEV] Bug #12171: Require() function malfunction across directories From: gerry <email protected>
Date: 07/14/01

From: gerry <email protected>
Operating system: MandrakeLinux 8.0.
PHP version: 4.0.4pl1
PHP Bug Type: Directory function related
Bug description: Require() function malfunction across directories

I have just installed MandrakeLinux 8.0. I have a PHP program that
contains the following require() function -->
require($PS_BASE.'modules/core/lib/ps_page_open.inc'); <-- This require()
picks up code outside my web tree for security reasons. When executed I
get the following error --> Fatal error: Failed opening required
'/home/phpshop/phpshop- core/modules/core/lib/ps_page_open.inc'
(include_path='') in /var/www/html/admin/prepend.php on line 14. <--
If I execute the require(), pointing at the same directory as the
requesting program, it works just fine. What do I need to do to execute a
require() against code outside of my web tree. What product would be
causing the problem? (Mandrake, PHP, Apache, ...).
