PHP Version: 4.0.5

Ok, some comments, if i may.
Firstly, I have verified this behaviour, however (and I could be wrong), this is not
unexpected.
The script executes relavtive to the directory it exists
within, not the directory you are currently in.
I can't particularly explain why, but this kind of makes sense. If you had a script in
some unsafe directory, allowing the moving and deleting of files, and you could run it
in a secured directory, in which the php process had sufficient access, and affect the
files there, would that not present potential security risks?
Anyhow, i could be wrong, so don't take what i said as corret.

Oh, I suppose you want my configure line, even though it really doesn't make a
difference. Here it is:
CONFIGURE_COMMAND = './configure' '--with-gd=/usr/local' '--with-mysql'
'--with-openssl' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/sbin/apxs' '--prefix=/usr/local'

This problem was previously reported by someone against PHP 4.0.6 in Bug ID # 14214.
Latest comment on the that reports says they are going to close it for lack of
information.
This bug has existed in every version of PHP I've used since 1999. It fails on Linux,
FreeBSD and Solaris.
Both mistaken report the directory which contains the script being run, NOT the
current working directory.
This fails when run from a directory other than where the script is saved:
#! /usr/local/bin/php -q
<?php
system("pwd");
echo `pwd`;
echo getcwd();
echo "\n";
?>
Under any POSIX-compliant OS, or just about any version of Unix, calling the getcwd(3)
library routine should get the correct result. It appears the PHP interpreter startup
is changing directories without saving this value first, since even calling the OS
gives incorrect values.
