Description:
------------
Apparently, dba_open doesn't respect chdir in Windows 32.  I filed this against IIS only because I believe it's Win32 specific - this problem doesn't reproduce on my web hosting provider's Linux/Apache server (running php 4.1).  I don't think this bug has anything to do with the IIS server, as it reproduces from the CLI.

I also observed that on the Unix box, dba_open("foo","w") will create "foo" if it doesn't exist, whereas on my Windows box you need to specify "n" or "c" to create a file.  Don't know whether that's a version difference or a bug.

Reproduce code:
---------------
To reproduce:

  <?
    chdir("subdir");
    fopen( "textfile", "w" );
    dba_open( "database", "n", "db3" );
  ?>



Expected result:
----------------
"textfile" and "database" should both be created in "subdir".

Actual result:
--------------
"textfile" gets created in "subdir", but "database" is created in the parent directory.

If fopen() works, but dba_open() doesn't it's definately some DBA problem.
