rename() function does not use current working directory, but c:\php\ instead (on windows system)

so if I use rename('a','b') from any directory, it will try to rename c:\php\a to c:\php\b

Does this fail with PHP 4.0.6 too?

No feedback. Closing.

This is <most probably> because you are calling php from the command line in the following format:

php -q c:\php_scripts\script.php

which would make c:\php4\ your working directory rather than c:\php_scripts\, to correct this chdir() before you execute php and call it like c:\php4\php -q script.php or chdir() at the begining of your script.
