Hurrah! This now appears fixed.
realpath(strtolower(getcwd())) is now the same as
realpath(strtoupper(getcwd())) is now the same as
getcwd()

on my Win XP Pro under
PHP 5.2.1RC4-dev (cli) (built: Jan 25 2007 08:24:12)

Thanks,

I have tested this with the latest snapshot 5.0 RC 2 of April 22 on my
Win 2K Pro system and it is still a problem. Here are the outputs that
I get (I did an inititial print right after the first cwd() so you can
see what windows thinks the directory is):

C:\Morph\phpDev\40gNiKU5LQ0C
c:\Morph\phpDev\40gniku5lq0c
c:\Morph\phpDev\40gniku5lq0c
C:\Morph\phpDev\40GNIKU5LQ0C
C:\Morph\phpDev\40GNIKU5LQ0C

So it appears that the middle part is OK but the drive letter and the
final directory need some shoring up.

I have marked this bug as open because of the demonstration below on my
PHP 4.3 build date Dec. 20, 2002; Apache 2.0.43 Filter; Win2K Pro
system.

Here is the test:
<html><head><title>getcwd Problem</title></head><body>
<?php
$cwd = getcwd();
chdir (strtolower($cwd));
print "<br>" . getcwd();
print "<br>" . realpath(getcwd());
chdir (strtoupper($cwd));
print "<br>" . getcwd();
print "<br>" . realpath(getcwd());
?>
</body></html>

On my system the first 2 directories show in lower case,
the last two are in caps.

realpath and getcwd on Windows systems do not actually report the
applicable directory, but rather a string that will !strcasecmp() with
the true directory:

I have a directory name, $dir, on my Win2K system (PHP 4.2.0), but it's
in all lower case, and I'd like to get the actual pathname including the
capitalizations:

Both realpath() and dirname() only muck around with the $dir string and
don't hit the file system. Not only that, but getcwd() returns $dir
(sans capitalizations) after I've hopped over to it with chdir($dir)!

My only solution to this point is to pop up a level and use
readdir(...) but this is wasteful, only giving me one level at a time.
Isn't there a REAL realpath() for windows?

Thanks,
Csaba Gabor
