Patch for command-line version of PHP View as Markdown

Hello.
Here is a patch for the command-line version of PHP which makes it chdir()
to the
script directory just like the web version of PHP does. It also implements
the -C
option which has been a NOOP up to now.

See README file of sapi/cli. This won't be changed. Maybe a patch that
does
the other way round is ok -> a patch that adds a switch to chdir to the
script.

No need for that. CLI was specifically designed not to chdir to scripts
directory. If you want that one liner would solve it for you:

chdir(dirname(FILE));
