Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-20 17:28:42] sniper@php.net Please check your systems, there is something in common to them how you configure/compile/etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-20 17:27:21] sniper@php.net And the expected return value is '/' when run under Apache. (It's apache thing..) Nothing was verified here, just was proved that this is one of those ghost bugs.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-20 11:08:11] elmicha@php.net I also see "(in callback) cwd is '/'" (no random values) on Solaris with PHP-4.2.1/Apache-1.3.26, so this doesn't seem to be a recent regression. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-20 01:35:15] elmicha@php.net current time is '08/20/03 08:26:09' (in main) cwd is '/home/elmicha/public_html/php' (in callback) cwd is '/' In the callback it's always '/'. I'm still running 4.3.3RC3 though (will try tonight with a current snapshot and pristine php.ini). Linux 2.4.21, gcc-2.95.3, libc-2.1.3, Apache-1.3.28, no vhosts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
