#24420 [Ver->Opn]: 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: Verified +Status: Open Bug Type: Directory function related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.3.3RC5-dev New Comment: 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.. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-19 07:17:19] S dot Bennett at lancaster dot ac dot uk Yes, I know 2.96 is bogus - it's a RedHat7 box. The problem also occurs when compiled with GCC3.2.2 on a Solaris system, so I don't really think it's relevant. I don't have any vhosts on this install of apache - I normally use --enable-module=vhost_alias but it's disabled on this install. httpd.conf contains: DocumentRoot "/home/www/nutter.spoo.org/htdocs" If you're unable to reproduce this there must be *something* different between your system and mine - what are you testing this on? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-19 07:09:44] sniper@php.net Well, there is something fishy going on what you do since I'm still unable to reproduce this..and btw. The gcc 2.96 is bogus: http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-2.96.html Also, if you were using default configuration of apache, you wouldn't have any virtualhosts.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-19 06:59:29] S dot Bennett at lancaster dot ac dot uk This is on a minimal apache/PHP installation that I've set up specifically to reproduce this problem. Apache is configured as: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/packages/apache-1.3.27 --enable-module=so Linux kernel is 2.4.20-ac2 gcc version is 2.96 glibc is 2.2.4 I've successfully reproduced this problem on a Solaris 7 system (gcc version is 2.96) and on a Solaris 9 system (gcc version is 3.2.2). I don't see how it can be dependent on compiler version or platform... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
