Hi All,
We are trying to figure out why PHP's file handling functions refuses to
access the web root using the "/" character on our Windows machines. For
example, a file /test.php is located in our web root. A file in a
subdirectory, say /example/runme.php needs to find out if the file
"/test.php" exists. One would expect that the function
file_exists("/test.php") would return true (it does on our unix host).
However, it returns false on our Windows machine.
Unfortunately we can't build a workaround as it is not us but oscommerce
that uses the "/" method to refer to the web root, and modifying all the
oscommerce scripts is simply impractical.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated,
Regards,
ECRIA Dev. Team
Details:
Apache 2.0.52
PHP 5.0.3
Windows XP Pro SP2 2 8525
Hi
On Windows this is not a valid Path "/test.php". If you want to test
for a file aon the
local directory use "./test.php" otherwise if you want to test for a
file on your web root you should set a specific DOCUMENT ROOT depending
on your webroot in apache. Then you could use
if(file_exists( $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/test.php"){
echo "Yipee;
}
Good luck

file_exists works in the filesystem space, not the URL space of the webserver.
"/" never refers to the web root (unless your webserver was chroot'ed to the
web root, which would be unusual); it's the filesystem root.
On Windows this is further complicated because there are multiple roots, one
per drive; "/" is a relative path on Windows, not an absolute path - relative
to the drive of the current working directory.

I have a question that is not directly Python-related. But I thought
I'd ask the most erudite group that I know... :-)
When did Windows start accepting the forward slash as a path separator
character?
At one time, it was accepted as a truism that Windows (like MS-DOS)
was different from Unix because Windows used the backslash as the path
separator character, whereas Unix used the forward slash.

Greetings-
I am running Python 2.3.3 on HP-UX and would like to access an Oracle 9i
database. Looking through the vaults, I see 4 or 5 modules that might work
and was wondering if anyone is currently hitting Oracle and what are you
using. I get to build a new system from the ground up and the powers that
be are allowing me to do it in Python. I'm quite happy.
Thanks for your help,

Hi all,
I have an Access database and try to create a connection to it using the
Server.MapPath method. I have the app lib in c:\inetprub\wwwroot\apps\myApp
and the database in c:\inetpub\dbq\myDB.
Using Server.MapPath("../../../dbq/myDB") should as I understand it take me
to the myDB lib. But instead I get an error message saying
"Cannot use a leading .. to exit above the top directory."

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
