note 93495 added to ref.dir

A simple reminder, but one most people (me included) will forget: If you're writing portable code, don't blindly assume URLs and filesystem paths have a 1:1 mapping! There could be any number of things affecting them - the server might have mod_rewrite rules, you could be in a chroot, PHP could even be running over FastCGI on a separate machine from the webserver entirely. Also don't rely on relative paths just because you think your own code hasn't called chdir(); you can use dirname($_SERVER[SCRIPT_FILENAME]) to figure out where you should be. ---- Server IP: 92.48.74.199 Probable Submitter: 87.254.85.46 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.dir.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/93495 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93495/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93495/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93495/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93495/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93495/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93495/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93495 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/93495 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
