#29345 [Fbk->Opn]: Working directory has changed

ID: 29345 User updated by: jeroen at kessels dot com Reported By: jeroen at kessels dot com -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 5.0.0 New Comment: Ah! Yes, changing to "php-cgi.exe" solves the problem. I followed the manual installation instructions (the "install.txt" file in the ZIP download), which clearly say to use "php.exe". I guess it needs to be rewritten. I can't find any information about the "php-cgi.exe" program, not there and not on this website.

If its cgi please make sure to use php-cgi.exe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-23 01:24:24] jeroen at kessels dot com Description: ------------ In PHP4 the working directory is the directory where the script lives. In PHP5 it's the root of the website. This has a huge impact on scripts that use the filesystem functions to access local files. For example, the getcwd() function in a script called "c:/inetpub/wwwroot/work/test.php" will report "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\work" on PHP4, and "c:\inetpub\wwwroot" on PHP5. I have only Windows 2000 with IIS at my disposal, I've not tested on Linux and Apache. Reproduce code: --------------- echo getcwd(); Expected result: ---------------- The directory where the script lives. Actual result: -------------- The home directory of the website. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29345&edit=1
