TYPO3 Core

Well, I found out that this isn't a real bug in t3lib_div, but in the extension I used. The problem was that the extension called browse_links.php with a path containing two slashes, i.e. typo3//browse_links.php. This made getIndpEnv return an incorrect value for DOCUMENT_ROOT.
Perhaps there should be a clause that filters out double slashes etc. to avoid such errors in the future.

The problem with the symlink persists, btw.

keyword:t3dd06

Confirmed: TYPO3_DOCUMENT_ROOT is wrong if installaltion symlinked (I think) / and or a subpath.
Stumbled upon this in the query generator for file fields.

IMO it is also wrong in subdirs

Is this still a problem? In which menu/function/extension does this bug show up? Can it be reproduced somehow? Big Thx for any further hints.

Still valid, at least if an installation is in a subdirectory.

My patch was wrong. Fact is that TYPO3_DOCUMENT_ROOT works as expected, it delivers the apache web root.

What is wrong is the usage - don't expect to compose the absolute path of a file with this var, use PATH_site instead. Attached v2 adds these comment to TYPO3_DOCUMENT_ROOT and fixes wrong usage in core:

// Get the web root (it is not the root of the TYPO3 installation)
// The absolute path of the script can be calculated with TYPO3_DOCUMENT_ROOT + SCRIPT_FILENAME
