The best way to see this problem is to use as simple script, no point in getting all complicated. What I have setup is a D:\inetpub folder which only has administrator and system rights. Within there I have the websites, so lets say wwwroot. This site has rights for Administrator, System, and the Internet Guest Account. Within this wwwroot I have a test.php, which contents are: <?php echo getcwd(); ?> Typically(Pre php 5.2.4) this would return D:\inetpub\wwwroot(The directory from which the script was run via IIS, and the way I imagine it should work) As of PHP 5.2.4 and above, this now returns C:\windows\system32\inetsrv The reason? PHP now wants to have 'List Folder Contents' Access to D:\Inetpub for users. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43309&edit=1
