From: cwei...@php.net Operating system: PHP version: 5.3.1RC3 PHP Bug Type: *General Issues Bug description: wrong working directory in symlinked files
Description: ------------ getcwd() and the current working directory does not work correctly anymore on php 5.3.0 and 5.3.1RCx when executing a symlinked file. In php versions before 5.3.0, the current working directory of a file was the directory below the document root of the web server. in 5.3.0, it's the target directory of the symlinked file. Imagine the following file layout: /var/www/host/ - webserver document root /var/www/host/config.php /var/www/host/index.php - symlink to /usr/share/app/index.php When opening index.php, getcwd() returns /usr/share/app/ in 5.3.0 and 5.3.1rc(1|2|3), while it returned /var/www/host/ on 5.2.x. This change causes real problems because now it is impossible to share application code easily among installations! -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50159&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50159&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50159&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50159&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50159&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50159&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50159&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50159&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50159&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50159&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50159&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50159&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50159&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50159&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50159&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50159&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50159&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50159&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50159&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50159&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50159&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50159&r=mysqlcfg
