A <note> needs to exist in the dirname docs for windows users as the current POSIX <note> isn't accurate as of PHP 4.3.0... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-11 11:16:36] iliaa@php.net Suppose you have a file c:/file.txt and you want to open another file from the same directory. If dirname("c:/file.txt"); return '.', then fopen ("./another_file.txt") will fail because it is looking in the wrong directory, the current current directory. If it returns c:/ or c: then c: + / + file will resolve to the actual file and open it correctly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-10 20:05:55] philip@php.net A couple people just tested this and get the same results as the bug report with 4.3.0RC2, please explain why this behavior changed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
