Problem with constants in application.ini after PHP upgrade
- by Marek
Hi,
I've upgraded PHP on my local dev system to version 5.3.0, and there is some problem when I use constants in application.ini - following manual http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/learning.quickstart.create-project.html I have:
bootstrap.path = APPLICATION_PATH "/Bootstrap.php"
which leads to:
Warning: require_once(APPLICATION_PATH/Bootstrap.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in Zend\Application.php on line 320
any ideas?
SOLVED:
Actually name of my constant was _DIR_APPLICATION (code above was copied from ZF manual) - problem lies in this underscore at the begining - it seems that parse_ini_file() in PHP 5.3.0 doesn't replace constants named like this.
Short test - you need two files:
test.ini
bootstrap.path = _DIR_APPLICATION "/Bootstrap.php"
bootstrap.class = "Bootstrap"
and test.php
<?php
define('_DIR_APPLICATION', 'test');
$data = parse_ini_file('test.ini');
print_r($data);
try to run, then change constant name to 'DIR_APPLICATION' (in both files) and compare result ;)
