chdir()

[searain]

How do I use the absolute path in chdir()

say under my web root there is a folder called temp

So I use chdir("/temp");

it give me error said

No such file or directory (errno 2)

Help please!

An absolute path would be like:

/var/www/html/project/temp, so you'd need to put the entire path.

A relative path would be from where the script is executing:

./project/temp/

Using absolute paths can be tricky, because if you move it to a windows machine, you can always loose that path. You can use like:

$abspath = getcwd() . "/temp";

If the script is running in the project directory it will list the full path, onto which you can add.
