note 69049 added to function.chdir

This only changes the directory for PHP, the output directory stays the same. If you are trying to access images from a relative path and you use the following then it will fail to render the image: chdir ('images'); if (file_exists('php.gif')) { echo '<html>'; echo '<body>'; echo '<img src="php.gif">'; echo '</body></html>'; } //However, it is possible to use the <base> tag in the header to change the directory for the resulting HTML, as you can see however this requires you to put the full path in place. chdir ('images'); if (file_exists('php.gif')) { echo '<html>'; echo '<head><base href = "http://uk.php.net/images/"></head>'; echo '<body>'; echo '<img src="php.gif">'; echo '</body></html>'; } ---- Server IP: 85.116.0.130 Probable Submitter: 212.125.73.242 ---- X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=5.9 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER, HTML_20_30,HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_04,HTML_MESSAGE autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.chdir.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/69049 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69049/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69049/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69049/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69049/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69049/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69049/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69049 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/69049 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
