For some reason, that function fails to load images if the path starts with ./ or .\. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-05-04 11:29:51] laurinkeithdavis at gmail dot com Interesting. I looked through the source and it appears that the patch added for the previous bug still exists, but I don't know C well enough to understand how "ext" would be treated differently from "./ext". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-05-04 09:01:50] cmb@php.net I can confirm the reported behavior. Using "ext" instead of "./ext" works, though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-05-02 15:38:19] laurinkeithdavis at gmail dot com Description: ------------ 7.4 on Windows, the issue of the working directory being used instead of the base directory appears to be happening again.
