From: marcel at hjortronet dot se Operating system: Windows Server 2003 PHP version: 5CVS-2005-10-12 (snap) PHP Bug Type: Directory function related Bug description: Can't "chdir('./../');" when parent dir equals root dir Description: ------------ Consider this example web server: 'D:\wwwroot\myweb\' (published as http://www.myweb.com/) IF the web servers access (or actually the 'IUSR_<computername>' user which enables IIS anonymous web access) is restricted to 'D:\wwwroot\myweb\' directory (and its subdirectories) and is not allowed to access any other local directory, like for example 'D:\wwwroot\', the code below ('chdir("../")') won't function if it is put into 'D:\wwwroot\myweb\test\' (published as http://www.myweb.com/test/reproducecode.php). Otherwise, thanks for doing a wonderful job! //Marcel, Sweden Reproduce code: --------------- <? echo getcwd()."<br/>\n"; echo chdir("../")."<br/>\n"; echo getcwd()."<br/>\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- D:\wwwroot\myforum\test 1 D:\wwwroot\myforum Actual result: -------------- D:\wwwroot\myforum\test D:\wwwroot\myforum\test -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34842&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34842&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34842&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34842&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34842&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34842&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34842&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34842&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34842&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34842&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34842&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34842&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34842&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34842&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34842&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34842&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34842&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34842&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34842&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34842&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34842&r=mysqlcfg
