Required files confused between applications on same server

[Ray]

Hi all,

I'm running PHP 5.2.0 on my Windows XP laptop, running under IIS. I
have files named 'config.php' in two different web applications on
this machine, which are included throughout each via 'require' in one
and 'require_once' in the other.

When I attempt to use the two applications simultaneously, the file
which was 'require_once'-ed is also being accessed from the other
application, even though the two applications are isolated from each
other in IIS, and are in completely different directories on the
computer.

Has anyone come across this before? Is it a known bug?

Thanks,

Ray.

Normallly, PHP checks a full path afaik, but I have no experience with IIS

Is the full path in get_included_files() or isn't it? And are you calling
it by the full path or not? Perhapse it's an include_path issue. Then
again, it might be as simple as a relative call in on of the applications
which doesn't turn out OK, because it makes wrong assumptions about the
current working directory, in which case they should be fixed.

On both. PHP has a 'current working dir', the files are searched in the
include_path, wich usually holds '.' (the current working directory), and
possibly others. This current working dir is not the directory of the file
that asks for an include/require, but usually where the process started.
It can be quite confusing when including several files, so to check what
the dir is you can use get_cwd();

OK, I'm starting to understand. I've experimented a bit, and when I
access the first app, getcwd() returns c:\windows\system32. However, I
then access the other app, and then when I go back to the first, the
working directory has changed to the root of the second app!

I don't yet understand why the second changes the working directory,
while the first doesn't....the only difference between them is that
the first uses require() while the second uses require_once().

Impossible to tell without the code (and I must confess I try to stay
clear of IIS), but a simple chdir() will offcourse change the working dir.
