Subject: PHP C++ extension on Windows: setting the working directory the same as PHP
From: oneil@saxonica.com (O'Neil Delpratt)

Hi,

I am having trouble getting the correct working directory in the C/C++ =
code of my PHP extension. It should be the same as the PHP working =
directory, but it is not.

I have tried looking this on the web, but with not much joy. I found a =
blog which describes my problem:

=
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/phpblog/entry/comparing=
_windows_and_php_working?lang=3Den

In linux the C function getcwd() does as expected. It is the same as the =
PHP cwd, but on windows it always uses the =93C:\Program Files\Apache =
software Foundation\Apache2.2=94,
whereas in my php script the call =91echo getcwd();=92 returns =
=93C:\www\html=94 as expected.

Please may someone point me in the write direction of how to get to the =
PHP current working directory in a C/C++ PHP extension.

Thanks in advance,
