[PHP] safe_mode_include_dir

2007-12-12 Thread Tony Beyers
I'm running php 5.2.5 with these settings in a virtualhost block in apache
2.0.61:

php_admin_flag safe_mode on
php_admin_value include_path "/afs/msu.edu/.../web"
php_admin_value safe_mode_include_dir "/afs/msu.edu/.../web"

I've got an index.php file in web/support/ that does a
require_once("../includes/support.php");

Being in afs with write access from multiple people, the uids of the files
do not match and I get an error stating that. So I put the
safe_mode_include_dir line above in but it did not fix the problem until I
used the absolute path in the require_once line.

Is there a way to include files with relative paths?

Sorry about the double posting. I thought I sent the first email
before I was subscribed.

I definitely should've pointed out that the code works with safe_mode
off so I know the paths are correct.

I'm actually not the author of the code. I'm a sys admin trying to
upgrade the site with safe_mode on.

The target directory is a real world readable directory.

No luck with these solutions. What does work is:

 require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../php/support.php');

but I still don't understand why the relative link doesn't work.
