Why getcwd() returs different results?

Hello,

The getcwd() method returns a different path when called from inside a shutdown function under Apache. On windows IIS it works just fine.

Can't this be fixed so that the path returned is consistent across servers?

It would appear that PHP should set the CWD path before calling the shut down functions

What shutdown functions are you meaning? Do you have an example which
shows the problem?

Here's an example from the PHP website:

This demonstrates the behaviour:

function echocwd() { echo 'cwd: ', getcwd(), "\n"; }
echocwd();
register_shutdown_function('echocwd');
?>

Outputs:

cwd: /path/to/my/site/docroot/test
cwd: /


http://php.net/manual/en/function.register-shutdown-function .php

It's a known problem but I can't see why this can't be fixed
