note 54559 rejected from function.clearstatcache by nlopess

Note Submitter: steve at nexusuk dot org ---- Probably should be considered a bug (and I will submit a bug report), but it is also worth knowing: If you use relative path names and change the working directory then the cached data may point at the wrong file. I.e., the following code: $a = file_exists('foo.txt'); chdir('bar'); $b = file_exists('foo.txt'); If 'foo.txt' existed when checked the first time then the second file_exists() call will also return true, even if 'bar/foo.txt' doesn't exist.
