Thus there is one process which might serve multiple requests in different threads. Each thread needs (from user perspective) its own working directory, thus our thread isolation library, TSRM, provides an API for that: VCWD_GETCWD. Please see TSRM/tsrm_virtual_cwd.h for more related APIs. Mind: In 5.6 this has been moved to Zend/zend_virtual_cwd.h johannes
