[SOLVED] chdir address

[phpizza]

I know that the below is a change directory function but I need to know what " ./.." does

chdir("./..");

 

thanks for any help...

Looks to me like it's trying to change directory to the parent directory of the current / relative directory.

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.
