Strange Include problem

[bleak26]

We are currently having an issue with includes on our system since the upgrade to php5. Including a file in the same folder works fine and we can include using the full path to the file and we can include using a URL to get the file but as soon as we use ../ or ./ we receive the message that

Warning: include(../navigation/navsideworkshop.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /data3/web/sites/www.example.co.uk/workshops/index.php on line 26

Also we found that if we are in the folder containing the file, we cannot use ../ to go out of the directory and then back into it with the foldername.
Eg: include("../folder_running_script_is_in/navsideworkshop.php");

Thankyou for all your help

Maybe include path is restricted to only this folder, so you cannot include anything above the folder.

Hi joel

Thankyou for the swift reply.

Even if we move the file down one folder, we still cannot include a file from the folder we just moved from.
