Adam Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Looks to me like it's trying to change directory to the parent directory of the current / relative directory.

Ken2k7 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 So up one level like In html html "../ " = php "./.." thanks... They're both the same. You can do chdir('../'). In fact, chdir('..') does the same thing. All you need to know is '..' is up one level. './' or '.' refers to the current directory. So when you have './..', it says, in the current directory, go up one level. It's just a very explicit way of writing it.
