note 95705 added to function.chdir

Sorry but the previous note from php dot duke at qik dot nl is a bit confusing and not exact enough I think so I redefine the symptom. Take a look at the following code: <?php var_dump( getcwd() ); chdir( "./" ); // this eliminates the anomaly var_dump( getcwd() ); ?> Under windows XP if I open a command prompt by Start -> Run -> cmd.exe and launch the script by the following command: php "c:\my_code.php" then the output will be the following: string(40) "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>" string(40) "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>" There is no surprise. But if I open a command prompt from Total Commander by Command => DOS command menu when I stand in the C:\ directory and after this I issue the eariler command: php "c:\my_code.php" then I get the following result: string(3) "c:\" string(3) "C:\" Shortly: Total commander launches my php script with small drive letter while cmd.exe does with capital drive letter. This ambiguity can be eliminated by a chdir( "./" ) function call. ---- Server IP: 92.43.200.200 Probable Submitter: 62.201.96.66 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.chdir.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/95705 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95705/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95705/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95705/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95705/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95705/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95705/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95705 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/95705 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
