Subject: Relative include feedback
From: kelvin@kelvinjones.co.uk (Kelvin Jones)

I hope that this is an appropriate place to post a feature request!

I posted a message on the Zend.com "into the future" forum about having 
a function that would return the full path to a file relative to the 
current executing script, and NOT the first script called, i.e.:

Instead of doing:

include_once realpath(dirname(__FILE__).'/../example.php');

As you have to do now, you could do:

include_once relative_path('../example.php');


What do you think?

Kelvin
