PHP 4.0.7 or 4.0.8 is going to fix this problem as it will search for files
in the current directory. I forget which version. The patch is already in
CVS.
To find the document root, here's some code taken from http://phplens.com
// Finds the DOCUMENT_ROOT - works with Apache, IIS and PWS
function PHPLENS_RootPath()
{
GLOBAL $HTTP_SERVER_VARS;
if (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['DOCUMENT_ROOT'])) { // APACHE and PWS
$_p_file = (str_replace('\\\\','/',$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['DOCUMENT_ROOT']));
// compat for php4.02 on windows
return (str_replace('\\','/',$_p_file));
}
if (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH'])) { // IIS
$_p_file =
(str_replace('\\\\','/',$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH'])); // compat
for php4.02 on windows
return (str_replace('\\','/',$_p_file));
}
} //function
