>From "man getcwd":

RETURN VALUE
  NULL  on failure (for example, if the current directory    
  is not readable), with errno set accordingly,
  and buf on success.

And as PHP just wraps around this function, the behaviour is the same.

Description:
------------
If one of the parent directories of the current working directory
doesn't have the readable flag +r (while +x is still specified)
getcwd() return false, even though the current directory has full (or
at least readable & executale) access (the restrictive permissions
apply ONLY to the parent directory).

The possible return value of false isn't either mentioned in the
documenation.

Reproduce code:
---------------
mkdir one ; mkdir one/two ; mkdir one/two/three
echo "<?php echo gettype(getcwd()).'; '; echo getcwd() ? 'true' :
'false'; ?>" > one/sample.php
echo "<?php echo gettype(getcwd()).'; '; echo getcwd() ? 'true' :
'false'; ?>" > one/two/sample.php
echo "<?php echo gettype(getcwd()).'; '; echo getcwd() ? 'true' :
'false'; ?>" > one/two/three/sample.php
chmod 111 one ; chmod 755 one/two ; chmod 755 one/two/three
chmod 644 one/sample.php ; chmod 644 one/two/sample.php ; chmod 644
one/two/three/sample.php

Expected result:
----------------
one/sample.php:
string; true

one/two/sample.php:
string; true

one/two/three/sample.php:
string; true

Actual result:
--------------
one/sample.php:
string; true

one/two/sample.php:
boolean; false

one/two/three/sample.php:
boolean; false
