#18908 [NEW]: Not getting Current Working Directory

From: duke@mastre.com Operating system: Linux 2.4.19 PHP version: 4CVS-2002-08-14 PHP Bug Type: *Directory/Filesystem functions Bug description: Not getting Current Working Directory Apache: 2.0.40 PHP: php4-STABLE-200208140900 not much else Why am I running a snapshot? Because cookies are [still] broken in 4.2.2 when running with Apache2, and I need to run Apache2. Problem: any/most filesystem functions do not know what the current directory is. This is a big problem, as it's broken 85% of my scripts (also totally breaks Smarty). Reproduce: $ cd /var/www/html/test $ cat test.php <?php echo('current working directory: ' . getcwd() . '<br />'); echo('w/o getcwd(): ' . (file_exists('test.php') ? 'true' : 'false') . '<br />'); echo('with getcwd() . /: ' . (file_exists(getcwd() . '/' . 'test.php') ? 'true' : 'false')); ?> http://somehost/test/test.php outputs this: current working directory: /var/www/html/test w/o getcwd(): false with getcwd() . /: true On 4.2.2 (rel) / 1.3.26 it correctly outputs: current working directory: /var/www/html/test w/o getcwd(): true with getcwd() . /: true Fix: yes, please ;) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18908&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18908&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18908&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18908&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18908&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18908&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18908&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18908&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18908&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18908&r=globals
