#24420 [Opn->Fbk]: getcwd() returns random results in a callback

ID: 24420 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: S dot Bennett at lancaster dot ac dot uk -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Directory function related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.3.3RC5-dev New Comment: I didn't ask about your php.ini, I asked about any possible php settings in your httpd.conf / .htaccess files.. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-19 04:56:59] S dot Bennett at lancaster dot ac dot uk I did have some stuff in php.ini, but removing the file has made no difference (it was only stuff like "max_execution_time = 5" anyway...) I don't see how this can fail to work for you, it's clear from the code that this will happen - php_execute_script() does something like: old_cwd=getcwd(); chdir(DIR_OF_SCRIPT); EXECUTE_SCRIPT chdir(old_cwd); but all the shutdown functions are called outside of this (from php_request_shutdown()). Maybe it should be up to the SAPI module to do the chdir() stuff - some SAPI modules might not care (I'd guess that apache wouldn't care) in which case there might be a (tiny) performance gain in not doing chdir(old_cwd) at the end of a request... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-19 04:08:28] sniper@php.net I can not reproduce this. Do you possibly have some php ini-settings set in your virtualhosts/some .htaccess file? (using php_value or php_admin_value) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-19 03:50:32] S dot Bennett at lancaster dot ac dot uk Tested this against the latest snapshot (200308190730, which describes itself as 4.3.3RC5-dev) it's still behaving as I described. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-14 00:36:06] sniper@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-03 19:17:22] aredridel at nbtsc dot org I think I'm experiencing this or a related bug: I've a page that most of the time works fine, but about 10% of the time, the require() statement at the top doesn't find the file, which is in the same directory as the script and referenced with a simple relative path -- require('filename.inc') ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
