getcwd - Gets the current working directory

SYNOPSIS
       string getcwd (void  )

DESCRIPTION
	Gets the current working directory.

RETURN VALUES
	Returns the current working directory on success, or FALSE on failure.

	On  some  Unix	variants,  getcwd(3) will return FALSE if any one of the parent directories does not have the readable or search mode set,
       even if the current directory does. See chmod(3) for more information on modes and permissions.

EXAMPLES
       Example #1

	      getcwd(3) example

	      <?php

	      // current directory
	      echo getcwd() . "
";

	      chdir('cvs');

	      // current directory
	      echo getcwd() . "
";

	      ?>

	      The above example will output something similar to:

	      /home/didou
	      /home/didou/cvs
