Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Apache changes the working directory to / so you\'re actually writing to /debug.txt.

code:
<?php
file_put_contents("debug.txt", "text", FILE_APPEND);
?>
work - absolutely correcly - create/update the file
but submited code - is not.
I think it is not possible in simple case "other working directory" ;)

When the shutdown function is called the working directory changes to what it was prior to the script running, in this case Apache uses /

If you use an absolute path then it will append correctly.
