Re: [PHPiCalendar-DEV] file_exists bug on Linux

[Waitman C. G. <wa...@em...>]

Glad it worked for you!

Totally my opinion: 8.0 is pretty good, it is the first version of RH 
that could actually live in a typical office environment with
"non-computer" people using it as a workstation. I really don't think
that the Linux distros can compete with MS Windows until they get their
nails hammered down straight, and RH 8 is a mighty big leap in that
direction.

I probably cheesed off a bunch of Linux people with those statements,
but I believe that the market of non-computer people that have incessant
need for technical support is MUCH larger than the "technologically
advanced" crowd. You see companies of 200 or so employees with only a
couple of tech support guys all over the place. If you issue a bunch of
machines to average joes, and the machines aren't smoothed all around
the corners and bolted shut and tightened down there will definitely be
Hell to pay.

I haven't tried RH 8 on a real server yet, I haven't had time to figure
out all the stuff i gotta rebuild ;-) I guess it is a lesson learned to
keep good documentation.

Anyhow, you might want to report the file_exists as a bug on php.net? I
could do it, but I haven't actually experienced the problem.

My guess is that it has absolutely nothing to do with RH 7.3, it is more
likely a problem between php 4.2.3 and apache 2.0.43... but this is just
a guess!

take care,

    So yea, wierdness.  <shrug>  Maybe something to do with RH 7.3?  Though 
    I can't imagine why.  I have been reluctant to upgrade to 8.0.
    
    Anyway, I agree that setting $BASE off of getcwd() would be a good 
    idea.  However, you guys are really doing a great service to us all, so 
    I won't complain if I have to make a tweak or two to get things working 
    for now. :)
    
    Thanks so much!
