#44777 [NEW]: PHP ISAPI random working dir only in Root of website

From: toby at simmonsconsulting dot com Operating system: Windows 2003 Server PHP version: 5.2.5 PHP Bug Type: Directory function related Bug description: PHP ISAPI random working dir only in Root of website Description: ------------ PHP ISAPI under IIS 6.x (Windows 2003 Server) reports an inconsistent working directory ONLY in the root of a web site. The working directory is perfectly consistent when checked in a subdirectory of a web site. I have seen similar bugs reported but they were either BOGUS or no longer open. I understand ISAPI is unstable (according to Bug #42460) but this bug only seems to occur in the root of a web site. Say the root of your web site is D:\websites\testsite. If you create a php file with the following code: <?php echo getcwd()."<br />\n"; ?> and place it in the above directory then load it (http://testsite/cwd.php), loading will produce a random directory. If you place this file in a subdirectory, say D:\websites\testsite\testdir, and load the page (from the new location, http://testsite/testdir/cwd.php) it will produce the expected results: D:\websites\testsite\testdir. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php echo getcwd()."<br />\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- In the root folder of your website (say, D:\websites\testsite) you would expect D:\websites\testsite. In a subdirectory of your website (say, D:\websites\testsite\testdir) you would expect just that, D:\websites\testsite\testdir. Actual result: -------------- In the root folder of your website (say, D:\websites\testsite) you get random results, anything from C:\WINDOWS\System32 to various subdirectories in your website (or other websites if you host more than one.) In a subdirectory of your website (say, D:\websites\testsite\testdir) it seems to work fine. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44777&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44777&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44777&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44777&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44777&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44777&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44777&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44777&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44777&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44777&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44777&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44777&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44777&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44777&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44777&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44777&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44777&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44777&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44777&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44777&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44777&r=mysqlcfg
