From: alastair at propcom dot co dot uk Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Make it easier to supply include paths on the CLI
Description: ------------ C standard is to use -I to add an include path for header files. There are also the environment variables CPATH, C_INCLUDE_PATH and CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH. Other languages follow suit. Python uses the PYTHONPATH environment variable. Perl uses PERL5LIB *and* -I, and also has a runtime 'use lib' too. PHP's current only way of doing it is to set the config itself (I didn't see anything about environment variables in the docs on include_path), which usually involves getting the config and manually merging the extras. Setting include paths is a much more common operation than the procedure to do so would suggest; it would be very helpful for this boilerplate code (get, merge, set) to be performed by PHP itself as a result of an option. -I is a good idea because it's established by C already, and hence maintains consistency. It would also be useful to honour an environment variable and possibly also a runtime function, just to make it easier. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63685&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63685&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63685&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63685&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63685&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63685&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63685&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63685&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63685&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63685&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63685&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63685&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63685&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63685&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63685&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63685&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63685&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63685&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63685&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63685&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63685&r=mysqlcfg
