Description:
------------
Our client tried to install our application on PHP 5.4.14, 5.3.24 and 5.3.3 for IIS 7.5 on Windows 2008 R2 (Enterprise).

On troubleshooting we noticed realpath('.') and realpath('') were returning false instead of the current working directory.


Test script:
---------------
var_dump(realpath('.'), realpath(''));

Expected result:
----------------
string (x) "c:\some\path\to\public"
string (x) "c:\some\path\to\public"

Works as expected for me, I suspect you have some environment issue. Please reveal more on your environment - is that local system, is there something in the logs, etc? Have you tried the same with CLI, another folder, another machine ... ?

Unfortunately we no longer have access to the client's machine and are unable to provide further information. When we investigated the client's issue we did not find any notifications in the standard error log. We implemented a hot fix for the client utilising the getcwd() function, which did work. See https://github.com/zendframework/zf2/pull/5729.
