Files save to C:\ ??

Empathy

Hi there,
When I code

file_put_contents('/x.txt', time());

the file x.txt is saved to C:\x.txt instead of the root folder, I just can't figure out why...
I'm using PHP 5.3, it has to be something quite simple but I just can't figure it out. I've attached my php.ini and httpd.conf, if anyone can find anything I'd appreciate it, I've been at it for hours. Never had this problem before.

C:\ is the root folder. Do note that there is a difference between file root and web root.

Your code accesses the file system, meaning / is C:.

A browser accesses the web server, so / is the web root.

It never used to be like this in any of my previous installs. I no longer have my old php.ini to compare to though. How do I go about changing it? There must be a way, as "/" always used to refer to my "C:\Server\Root\" folder

file_put_contents($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/x.txt', time());

(Do not confuse "/" with PHP file_*() functions and "/" with [X]HTML src/href paths, where in the former it means file system root directory while in the latter it means the web site document root directory.)
