Changed in HEAD and FRAMEWORK_3 (will be in Horde 3.1).

This is _definitely_ a bug in PHP. But after discussion with some of 
the other developers we'll go ahead and work around it for now.

I don't believe this is bogus, as it does not appear to be a problem 
with PHP.  It seems to be a change in PHP, in which Horde needs to 
account for in order to ensure compatibility.



Moving the require_once('DB.php') from within the _connect function to 
outside of the class in horde/lib/Horde/Prefs/sql.php seems to solve 
the problem.  It is clear that PHP doesn't want you to introduce new 
files while it's shutting down or shuts something down in a different 
order.



It also doesn't change the way the functions work, but just moves the 
define.  So why not move the line and everyone is happy?



To add to it, I've found a few posts on the net stating the same 
solution I found.  The open_basedir is right, but the fact that it's 
trying to include in the shutdown function is causing issues.

Then why are you reporting this as a bug in Horde, not PHP?

Because the open-basedir seems to bring in this behavour... suggesting 
that maybe something in 5.0.5 changed the order of the shutdown and is 
preventing opening that.



I should also note DB.php is in /usr/local/lib/php which is in my 
open_basedir path there.

That bug appears to have nothing to do with open_basedir - what's the 
relation?

Using php 5.0.5 / MySQL 4.0



I receive the following messages while saving preferences in PHP's 
error log and preferences are not saved.

This is with open_basedir on.



Moving the require_once('DB.php') from within the _connect function to 
outside of the class in horde/lib/Horde/Prefs/sql.php seems to solve 
the problem.



Nonetheless, this looks like an interesting bug- I'd imagine something 
to do with http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=33772 maybe?
