PHAR stream and the dirname() function @index.php

[eluser]fMertins[/eluser]
Hi there,

I am using CI 2.0.2 at CLI and with PHAR stream (it is a command line application and my idea is using phar file to distribute/run the application in customer environment).

But I just realized today that function dirname() returns a "phar://" string at the beginning, so instead of get something like

Code:

/var/www/imap_test

I get

Code:

phar:///var/www/imap_test/imap_test.phar

and then the chdir() function at line 143 at index.php (front controller) fails:

Code:

PHP Warning:  chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in phar:///var/www/imap_test/imap_test.phar/index.php on line 143

So, it seems this isn't a bug, but just a workaround to be done when working with phar files?
Thanks you!
Fernando

Phar spec is totally different with CI spec! Obviously, the only workaround for that is...hack all PHP filesystem functions (like 'include', 'file_get_contents', and so on) in CI to Phar spec.
