Operating system: Win XP SP2
PHP version: 5.1.6
PHP Bug Type: Directory function related
Bug description: chdir(".") and chdir("..") don't work with Apache 2.0+
Description:
------------
When using chdir() with relative folders (e.g. "." and ".."), under Apache
2.0 or newer, using either the php5 module or the CGI binary, the function
changes the current directory to the Apache application folder, rather
than a folder relative to the current folder.
Tested with PHP 5.1.6, and current 5.2.x-dev, under Apache 2.2.3, 2.0.59
and 2.0.55 - all tested with both the php5 module and the CGI binary, all
with same result.
Bug appears to be specific to the Windows port of PHP.
Apache 1.3.37 exhibits no similar problems.
I filed this bug with Apache, but Ruediger Pluem at apache.org says that
"this is clearly a PHP bug":
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40496
Reproduce code:
---------------
// create the "test" folder before running the script!
echo getcwd() . "<br />";
chdir("test");
echo getcwd() . "<br />";
chdir("..");
echo getcwd() . "<br />";
chdir("..");
echo getcwd();
Expected result:
----------------
C:\Web
C:\Web\test
C:\Web
C:\
Actual result:
--------------
C:\Web
C:\Web\test
C:\Programmer\Apache Group
