Yesterday I received the confirmation from phpBB about the acceptance of these
bug.
PHP is a specific language and are many different possibilities to show full
path. I will public note about this bugs.

I don't disagree, but I do think path disclosure is not a big deal. If
you're running a website, the first thing you have to do is secure the
daemons on it. And that includes disabling the displaying of errors,
disabling debugging, etc.
