If your PHP cli binary is built as a cgi binary (check with php_sapi_name), the cwd functions differently than you might expect. say you have a script /usr/local/bin/purge you are in /home/username php CLI: getcwd() gives you /home/username php CGI: getcwd() gives you /usr/local/bin This can trip you up if you're writing command line scripts with php. You can override the CGI behavior by adding -C to the php call: #!/usr/local/bin/php -Cq and then getcwd() behaves as it does in the CLI-compiled version. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.getcwd.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+49423 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49423&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49423&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49423&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49423&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49423&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+49423&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
