chdir

(PHP 3, PHP 4 , PHP 5)

chdir -- Change directory

Description

bool chdir ( string directory)

Changes PHP's current directory to directory. Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Example 1. chdir() example

<?php
  
// current directory
echo getcwd() . "\n";
  
chdir('public_html');
  
// current directory
echo getcwd() . "\n";
  
?>

This example will output:

/home/vincent/public_html

Note: When safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether the directory in which you are about to operate has the same UID (owner) as the script that is being executed.
