Description:
------------
7.4 on Windows, the issue of the working directory being used instead of the base directory appears to be happening again.

Same as: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74866

Test script:
---------------
php.ini for both has this setting.

extension_dir = "./ext/"

7.4:

c:\jenkins-php-tools>C:\PHP\php.exe -cc:/PHP/devrc/php.ini


7.3.16:

c:\jenkins-php-tools>C:\PHP\php.exe -cc:/PHP/devrc/php.ini

Expected result:
----------------
(loads, no errors)

Actual result:
--------------
7.4:

Warning: PHP Startup: Failed to load ./ext/php_curl.dll, The system cannot find the file specified.
 in Unknown on line 0
Warning: PHP Startup: Failed to load ./ext/php_fileinfo.dll, The system cannot find the file specified.
 in Unknown on line 0
Warning: PHP Startup: Failed to load ./ext/php_gd2.dll, The system cannot find the file specified.
 in Unknown on line 0

7.3:

No errors

I can confirm the reported behavior.  Using "ext" instead of
"./ext" works, though.

Interesting. I looked through the source and it appears that the patch added for the previous bug still exists, but I don't know C well enough to understand how "ext" would be treated differently from "./ext".

As of PHP 7.4.0, PHP checks for the linker version of extension
DLLs, using ImageLoad().  For some reason, that function fails to
load images if the path starts with ./ or .\.
