I can confirm the previous has the correct diagnosis.

I was having this problem on MacOSX, and adding read
permissions to all directories in the path fixed it for me.

A quick scan will show this problem has been reported
multiple tims. I had been looking at #32967, but I can't
change the state back to open, so here is where I'll report
the true cause of the bug, and it's workaround. Note that
it has nothing to do with being in a user's home directory.

OK, I have created a trivial test case that displays the
problem. In short, if an ancestor directory (though not the
direct parent) of a file is not readable (just executable),
you will get this behavior.

Problem still exists for me on Solaris 9 with PHP 5.1.4

On Linux with PHP 5.1.4 I get:
[url]http://localhost/~hakan/test/file.php:[/url]

/home/hakan/.public_html/test/file.php
/home/hakan/.public_html/test/file2.php

[url]http://localhost/~hakan/test/realpath.php:[/url]
realpath: '/home/hakan/.public_html/test/realpath/test.txt'

On Solaris 9 with PHP 5.1.4 I get:
[url]http://esslingen.homeunix.net/~hakan/test/file.php:[/url]

/home/hakan/.public_html/test/file.php
../file2.php

[url]http://esslingen.homeunix.net/~hakan/test/realpath.php:[/url]
realpath: ''

I have the same bug on Mac OS X Server 10.4.3 with PHP 4.4.2
when it is load as apache's module... but not when using the
cli version.

I CAN reproduce this bug in __FILE__ and realpath with the CLI version
of PHP 4.4.0 installed on a netBSD 2.0.2 box with apache 2.0.55.

I did exactly same as mmayer's example above (same files, same chmods)
and got the same issue.

This bug occurred when installing for Calendar 2. I hope you guys
finally can resolve this mysterious bug.
