One correction. The include('lib/test2.php') is actually a
require_once('lib/test2.php'). That's why it quits and I don't get the
third include.
you 100% sure your include_path is '.' ? just asking.
also you mention a /www/lib and a /www/include dir - maybe thats
the problem?
maybe you can make the problem go away by setting include_path to
'.:/www/include' or '.:/www/lib'
I must say I think its overkill to use file_exists() on files
you are going to require_once() - although no doubt there is a good
reason to do it sometimes :-)
it is odd though, file_exists() returns true yet the file cannot
be included.

From the manual on 'include':
"Files for including are first looked in include_path relative to the
current working directory and then in include_path relative to the
directory of current script. E.g. if your include_path is ., current
working directory is /www/, you included include/a.php and there is
include "b.php" in that file, b.php is first looked in /www/ and then in
/www/include/."
I have a file in my root dir (we'll call it /www) that includes the file
/www/lib/test.php as follows:
include('lib/test.php');
test.php looks like this:
<?
echo 'Inside first included file.';
if (file_exists('lib/test2.php'))
echo 'This file exists.';
include('lib/test2.php');
echo 'Ending first included file.';
?>
/www/lib/test2.php exists. Whenever I run this, I get the first two echo
statements, without getting the third one. The error log reports that it
couldn't find lib/test2.php. If I take out the 'lib/' in the include
statement, it works. According to the description from the manual, either
way should work. Has anyone ever come across this problem before, and is
there a config setting that causes it? I'm stumped here, and I refuse to
go change all the code when from what I've read it should already be
working.
