how to use chdir to change to current directory?

Question

I\'m trying to include a file from another directory and then change the chdir back to the current/original form.

chdir(\'/some/path\');
include(./file.php);         


        

Answer 1

First you need to store the current path, before changing dirs:

$oldPath = getcwd();
chdir('/some/path');
include(./file.php);
chdir($oldPath);

Why do you need to change dirs in order to include a file?
