Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/directoryiterator.getpathname
---

This method only gets the pathname based on the path given when creating the DirectoryIterator, not a full pathname. The documentation could be more specific on this.

I'm assuming that the documentation is just not accurate enough and that it's not a bug in the method itself.


Test script:
---------------
<?php

foreach (new DirectoryIterator('.') as $file) {
    print $file->getPathname()."\n";
}

foreach (new DirectoryIterator(__DIR__) as $file) {
    print $file->getPathname()."\n";
}

foreach (new DirectoryIterator('somesubdir') as $file) {
    print $file->getPathname()."\n";
}


Expected result:
----------------
Based on the documentation I expected this output (skipped the . and ..)

/home/gulli/cli/directoryiterator.php
/home/gulli/cli/directoryiterator.php
/home/gulli/cli/somesubdir/somefileinsubdir.txt


Actual result:
--------------
./directoryiterator.php
/home/gulli/cli/directoryiterator.php
somesubdir/somefileinsubdir.txt
