getcwd() returns the path of the "main" script referenced in the URL.
dirname(__FILE__) will return the path of the script currently executing.
I had written a script that required several class definition scripts from the same directory. It
retrieved them based on filename matches and used getcwd to figure out where they were.
Didn't work so well when I needed to call that first script from a new file in a different
directory.
