When calling php via cli, the current directory is NOT changed to the one

  • 0

When calling php via cli, the current directory is NOT changed to the one of the script. All the scripts i have running in crontab run via the CLI, so this is an issue.

I’m currently fixing the problem by doing a chdir() with the absolute path where the script is, but i REALLY dont like hardcoding paths into stuff like that.

I’m looking for the most portable/reliable method for ensuring that the current working directory is the one where the script it is at.
