Description:
------------
As of php 5.2.4 the language suddenly wants full pathing rights to where ever the .php file is run. The best way to see this problem is to use as simple script, no point in getting all complicated. What I have setup is a D:\inetpub folder which only has administrator and system rights. Within there I have the websites, so lets say wwwroot. This site has rights for Administrator, System, and the Internet Guest Account. Within this wwwroot I have a test.php, which contents are:

<?php echo getcwd(); ?>

Typically(Pre php 5.2.4) this would return D:\inetpub\wwwroot(The directory from which the script was run via IIS, and the way I imagine it should work)

As of PHP 5.2.4 and above, this now returns C:\windows\system32\inetsrv

The reason? PHP now wants to have 'List Folder Contents' Access to D:\Inetpub for users.

Thank you for your timely reply; unfortunately, the problem persists after making use of the CVS.

Just sort of a follow up:

PHP 5.2.5 still acts this way, as does the latest php6.
