I think it is somewhere in the PHP virtual directory handling, but haven't found more informations yet. In short -- chdir("..") doesn't work as expected. It doesn't occur on Windows XP (2000 not checked), but in Windows NT4 when I run the code below I get the wrong results: relative chdir actually takes a webserver root directory as a source for it's change, instead of the current virtual directory (which is what everyone expects). As the result, lots of scripts don't work (e.g. phpMyAdmin's css/php script, my own scripts that use chdir("..), etc.) This bug AFAIK does not appear in PHP4. Reproduce code: --------------- <? echo getcwd()."<br/>\n"; echo chdir("../")."<br/>\n"; echo getcwd()."<br/>\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- E:\www\dirtest (script own directory) 1 (chdir was successfull) E:\www (working directory after chdir) Actual result: -------------- E:\www\dirtest (script own directory) 1 (chdir was successfull) D:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2 (working directory after chdir -- wrong) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28327&edit=1
