RE: PHP v4 vs. PHP v5 behavior (fwd)

That wasn't a typo.  This code
is pulled directly from the phpBB installation (install.php).  It
is in fact:

$phpbb_root_path = './../';
include($phpbb_root_path.'extension.inc');

The only thing I noticed, though, was that he posted a path with "./../",
not "../../", which could have been a typo but might not have
been. I seem
to recall that some *NIX variants (notably Solaris) used to support that
style for disambiguity reasons or some such nonsense, but I can't locate
the
reference to it anymore and Google chokes on even a quoted search for that.
