fopen fails with IIS if virtual directory ...

[carloscuria]

With
In a virtual directory o new site ( non defalult site ) in IIS 5.
After traying several times to open a file in the same directory as the php script I realized the directory where fopen try to open the file is C:\winnt\system32.

It only happens if you are working with a virtual directory or a new site.

¿ Any clue ?

I don't have an answer for your question directly, but a tip -- the getcwd() function is useful to discover where the heck your files are going without doing a file find on your whole system.

not quite sure what your asking, but could you post a sample of what your talking about?

Thanks for your interest. I'm going to try to explain the problem more detailed.

In IIS in you have the default web site with it's real directories within normaly c:\InetPub\wwwroot or you can create a virtual directory thats belong to another place of the file system, or you can as well create a new ( virtual ) site in another branch of the file system.

Suppose I have a php script "example.php" in C:\InetPub\wwwroot\realdir with the following sentence:

echo getcwd ();

The output of this line is:

C:\InetPub\wwwroot\realdir

Suppose now the same script in C:\popo and that you map c:\popo as a virtual directory or as a new site in IIS, now the output of the same line is:

C:\winnt\system32

Maybe the place were the php dll resides ?

I played a little with some directives in php.ini but without results.
