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

what do you need the realpath() call for?
(that's already taken care of internaly in the *_once() functions)

DIR would be cool.
Do other functions that take filename parameters also expand the paths? i.e.:
fopen() ..etc.
If they do, then maybe there isn't a need for a function as long as there's a
DIR constant to easily get the current directory.

Just set your include path correctly?

hi,
What do you think?

I don't think that was his point. If file A includes file B and file B in-
cludes another file, say file C, then file C will be included with the re-
lative path of file A (and not file B as expected).

That's right.
And not only that.. not all people have access to set things like the include
path themselves, and would have to do it in every script they run using ini_set
().
And just because there's a workaround for a problem, doesn't mean we can't
provide a better solution.
