Re: Why getcwd() returs different results?

Here's an example from the PHP website: This demonstrates the behaviour: <?php function echocwd() { echo 'cwd: ', getcwd(), "\n"; } echocwd(); register_shutdown_function('echocwd'); ?> Outputs: cwd: /path/to/my/site/docroot/test cwd: / http://php.net/manual/en/function.register-shutdown-function.php It's a known problem but I can't see why this can't be fixed ________________________________ From: Ashley Sheridan <ash@ashleysheridan.co.uk> To: Raymond Irving <xwisdom@yahoo.com> Cc: PHP-General List <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Thu, November 5, 2009 6:09:19 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] Why getcwd() returs different results?

Do you have an example which shows the problem? Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
