Description:
------------
Got phpdoc 1.3.0 from the web, dumped into a dir under the web root.

Open up the browser to localhost/phpdocumentor/ - all I get is:

Warning: require_once(PhpDocumentor/phpDocumentor/clone5.inc.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in E:\htdocs\phpDocumentor\phpDocumentor\common.inc.php on line 59

Looking at da code, I see:

if ('1.3.0' != '@'.'VER@')
{
if (_IN_PHP5) {
require_once 'PhpDocumentor/phpDocumentor/clone5.inc.php';
} else {
require_once 'PhpDocumentor/phpDocumentor/clone.inc.php';
}
} else {
if (_IN_PHP5) {
require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/clone5.inc.php';
} else {
require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/clone.inc.php';
}
}

This looks very suspicious: why should I include files using path 'PhpDocumentor/...' instead of dirname(__FILE__) ???

The same error is repeated here and there in the source code....

PS: I fixed it by inverting the 2 blocks of code, plus doing the same inversion in line 1651 of intermediateparser.inc

PPS: in .\Converters\PDF and .\Converters\XML\ there are still some files that always use include(''PhpDocumentor/...'), without doing appropriate indirection...

PPPS: are bugs to be reported here or on sf? not very clear...

Same issue here on php 5.1.6 fcgi.

But it works fine when I use the pear installer.

That appears to be code that determines whether or not PhpDocumentor was installed via PEAR or not, as best I can tell via the CVS logs for these files.

I can work around this "no such file" error by running the phpdoc command from just above the PhpDocumentor directory, i.e if path to code is /opt/PhpDocumentor/phpDocumentor/phpdoc, then cd into /opt and run it from there. That seems to help line the hardcoded pathing up with your curring directory location, thereby allowing you to run it.

Again, not a fix, but a work-around.

This PEAR bug seems to have many duplicates on Sourceforge (#s 1574470, 1556091, 1551640, and 1544544).
