Paul,
Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, changing the include to:
include("../extension.inc");
Produces the exact same result:
Warning: include(../extension.inc) [function.include]: failed to open
stream: Permission denied in
/home/bu/jsantana/htdocs/php/IncludeExample.php on line 3
Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '../extension.inc'
for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in
/home/bu/jsantana/htdocs/php/IncludeExample.php on line 3
Thank you for the .inc.php advice. I am not the programmer here but will
pass that information on to him.

RE: [PHP-INSTALL] PHP v4 vs. PHP v5 behavior
I believe the notation "./../" is illegal, perhaps either the new PHP or
the new Solaris is probably now enforcing that when the old did not?
I would recommend dropping the leading "./" (since it just means "start
from the current directory" anyway), and trying it with just
"../extension.inc"
I would also recommend not using .inc as a suffix, as anyone with half a
brain could view the source code by just typing in
www.whatever.com/allmydatabasepasswords.inc or something similar, telling
Apache to deliver it as text. Following the practice of double-suffixing
all include files like so: "myphpcodefile.inc.php" will indicate that the
file is an include file while still forcing Apache to send the file
through the php preprocessor before displaying it, rendering the user
unable to directly view the source code in your include files.

Subject: [PHP-INSTALL] PHP v4 vs. PHP v5 behavior
Maybe someone can shed some light on this problem for me. Our current
production server is a Solaris 9 machine running Apache 1.3.37 and PHP
4.4.2. The following script works perfectly on this machine:
<?php
include("./../extension.inc");
echo "<BR>";
echo "Hello World!";
?>
The new server we are setting up is running Solaris 10, Apache 2.2.4 and
PHP 5.2.3. The same script I mentioned above produces this error:
Warning: include(./../extension.inc) [function.include]: failed to open
stream: Permission denied in
/home/bu/jsantana/htdocs/php/IncludeExample.php on line 3
Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening './../extension.inc'
for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in
/home/bu/jsantana/htdocs/php/IncludeExample.php on line 3
Hello World!
If I define my include path as
include("/home/bu/jsantana/htdocs/extension.inc");, the script works fine
with PHP 5. Can anyone explain why under PHP 5 the ./../ does not back up
one directory from the directory where I call my script from?
Thank you,
Jesse
