I tried switching from 5.2.9 to 5.3.1RC3, and some of my applications failed. The reason is that getcwd() seems to be broken in combination with symlinks. The situation: /var/www/ - Apache document root, symlink to /home/user/www /home/user/www - Contains user specific files for application /home/user/www/config.php - Configuration file /home/user/www/index.php - Symlink to /usr/share/php/cms/www/index.php Now index.php tries to include config.php (without any path) and fails. A var_dump(getcwd()) in index.php tells me that cwd is > /usr/share/php/cms/www/ - although the current working directory is /var/www/. On php 5.2.9, getcwd() shows /var/www/ as current working directory. This behavioral change breaks some of my applications that rely on symlinks to provide files shared among all users on the server, in combination with local config files. PHP is used as fastcgi module. -- Regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen Christian Weiske -= Geeking around in the name of science since 1982 =-
