Hmmm there is an issue I just found... Let say you have a structure like this (win32) d:\inetpub\www.domain.com\subdir\testfile.php The user foo has access to /subdir only... The user foo2 has access to all the drive The testfile.php contains only: <? php $curdir = getcwd(); echo $curdir; ?> The output for user foo wich doesnt have access to the full file root will be "c:\winnt" So if like me you wanted to include a file based on the curdir value, you will have some problems ;) The output for user foo2 will be correct ie: d:\inetpub\www.domain.com\subdir You can bypass this problem using print(dirname(__FILE__)); instead wich will work for both users -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.getcwd.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+25939 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+25939 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+25939
