PHP chdir Change Directory function tutorial

ChDir-Change Directory

Describe
Boolean chdir (string $ directory)
Change the directory for the current directory of PHP.

Parameters

Directory
The new current directory


return value
Returns TRUE or false success failure.

Instance

Example of # 1 chdir ()

<?php

Current directory
Echo GETCWD (). "N";

ChDir (' public_html ');

Current directory
Echo GETCWD (). "N";

?>

$path = "C:temp";
ChDir ($path);
GETCWD ()
Gives you "C:temp"

$path = "C:temp";
ChDir ($path);
GETCWD ()
Gives you "C:temp"

To work around this inconsistency
Doing a chdir ('. ') after the chdir always gives back "c:temp"

The example above will output similar to the following:

/Home/Article
/home/text/public_html

Note
Note: If Safe mode is activated, PHP will check whether the directory of the script operation has the same UID (owner) script that is being executed.
