                                     chdir

   (PHP 3, PHP 4 )
   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
/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.

   See also getcwd().
