Subject: php5-common: Wrong default include_path if none is defined in php.ini

Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2010 00:58:51 +0200

Package: php5-common
Version: 5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny8
Severity: normal


Hello,

I think there is a incoherence between php5 and the default value of the "include_path" variable: the default value is "/usr/share/php" while the directory is not created by the 
package. Actually, the directory created is "/usr/share/php5"

$ php -i | grep include_path
include_path => .:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear => .:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear

$ ls /usr/share/php
ls: cannot access /usr/share/php: No such file or directory

Step to reproduce: install the php5-common package

Thanks in advance.

That's perfectly okay. PHP libraries provided by Debian packages are installed 
under /usr/share/php. /usr/share/php5 is used by the php5 packages (the 
interpreter,) not by the libraries or php code.
