Symlinks issue

[jbogdani]

Hello I'm having issues using mbtiles-php inside a symlinked folder.
The main issue is related to line 607:
$here = str_replace("\\", "/", realpath(rtrim(dirname(__FILE__), '/')) . "/");

FILE resolves symlinks and so does realpath. This prevent the route to be resolved...

I actually solved changing this line to:

$here = str_replace("\\", "/", rtrim(dirname($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]), '/') . "/");

ie. replacing __FILE__ with $_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"] and removing any reference to realpath().

Of course this dirty workaround fixes the issue on paths containing symlink, but breaks the program on "normal" paths...

Are you sure it breaks the "normal" paths? I just tried it on my Mac here and with your fix it actually handles both cases without problems (with or without symlink). Which link breaks?

Also, thanks for this :-)

I replaced my code with yours. I tried to reproduced the problems you mention, but I couldn't. I tried using a symlink to 'tileserver.php' from a regular folder, and that worked, and I tried symlinking the whole folder, and that worked as well. I could even symlink a folder that contained a symlink to the tileserver.php, all without issues. What does your directory structure look like, and when/how does it break?

Hello,
I think that the main error I've getting is generated in the lines where $here and $document_root are defined.
The combination:
$here = str_replace("", "/", rtrim(dirname($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]), '/') . "/");
and
$document_root = str_replace("", "/", realpath($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]) . "/");

is not working for me (I can send you a private link if needed) because $document_root symlinks are resolved by realpath function.

Actually my solution was to remove this function from here. I'm actually using (successfully) in my different locations:

$here = str_replace("\\", "/", rtrim(dirname($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]), '/') . "/");
$document_root = str_replace("\\", "/", $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/");
