We recently upgraded php from 4.3.9 to 4.4.7. Everything is working
well, except the php scripts running as cronjobs. It appears the
problem is that these scripts utilize the include() function and these
functions are utilizing relative paths. They worked just fine with
the old version of php, but not with the new version.
Anyone know what is causing this hiccup?

Try using the server relative path in this case, or check the PHP.ini
and setup some paths in there.
So, instead of
<?php
include ('whatever.php' );
?>
try
<?php
include('server/relative/path/to/the/whatever/file.php');
?>

Are you specifying absolute paths or relative paths in your include()
function?
AFAIK, this behavior hasn't changed since the early days of PHP. Did
you do something like change directories on the new version?

Vladimir,
Thanks for th reply. Unfortunately there are quite a few includes,
and those includes have includes as well so changing hte include path
from relative paths to absolute paths isn't a practical option for us
at the momemnt.

We are specifying relative paths - which worked just fine when our old
version of php was installed. Upon upgrading these paths no longer
work. To my knowledge no other settings in php were altered, however,
there were some unused options that we left out when compiling the new
version of php although I don't think any of them are related to this
present problem. be*******@gmail .com wrote:

Well, obviously something changed - either in your compile or your
php.ini file. Did you have include_path set in your php.ini before?
This is a problem with either relative or absolute paths - either way
you can have problems when the path changes.

Hey B,
How about defining a named constant, let's call it MY_SCRIPT_ROOT,
that contains the closest path to your script, let's say
<?php
define('MY_SCRI PT_ROOT', '/dev/myscript');
?>
and then, all the includes will go like this:
<?php
// an include for the /dev/myscript/includes/classes/php/
bingoclass.php
include (MY_SCRIPT_ROOT .'/includes/classes/php/bingoclass.php' );
// an include for /dev/myscript/doit.php
include (MY_SCRIPT_ROOT .'/doit.php');
// an include for /dev/myscript/abc/yep.php
include (MY_SCRIPT_ROOT .'abc/yep.php');
?>
This is the best approach when you're dealing with strange paths that
go on different levels and I'm using it with success.

I assume when using crons, the script doesn't get started in it's
place/dir, but in the one where the cron starts.
A simple:
chdir(dirname(_ _FILE__));
at the beginning of the script called by the cron should do it, every
relative include would now be indeed relative to it's directory instead of
relative to the cron.
