Which is expected given the changes applied to realpath and related functions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-11-12 15:39:14] cweiske@php.net Description: ------------ getcwd() and the current working directory does not work correctly anymore on php 5.3.0 and 5.3.1RCx when executing a symlinked file. In php versions before 5.3.0, the current working directory of a file was the directory below the document root of the web server. in 5.3.0, it's the target directory of the symlinked file. Imagine the following file layout: /var/www/host/ - webserver document root /var/www/host/config.php /var/www/host/index.php - symlink to /usr/share/app/index.php When opening index.php, getcwd() returns /usr/share/app/ in 5.3.0 and 5.3.1rc(1|2|3), while it returned /var/www/host/ on 5.2.x. This change causes real problems because now it is impossible to share application code easily among installations! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50159&edit=1
