(PHP 4, PHP 5)
chdir — Change directory
Changes PHP's current directory to directory .
The new current directory
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Example#1 chdir() example
<?php
// current directory
echo getcwd() . "\n";
chdir('public_html');
// current directory
echo getcwd() . "\n";
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
/home/vincent
/home/vincent/public_html
Note: When safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether the directory in which you are about to operate has the same UID (owner) as the script that is being executed.
