This only changes the directory for PHP, the output directory stays the same. If you are trying to access images from a relative path and you use the following then it will fail to render the image:

chdir ('images');
if (file_exists('php.gif'))
{
echo '<html>';
echo '<body>';
echo '<img src="php.gif">';
echo '</body></html>';
}

//However, it is possible to use the <base> tag in the header to change the directory for the resulting HTML, as you can see however this requires you to put the full path in place.

chdir ('images');
if (file_exists('php.gif'))
{
echo '<html>';
echo '<head><base href = "http://uk.php.net/images/"></head>';
echo '<body>';
echo '<img src="php.gif">';
echo '</body></html>';
}

When using PHP safe mode and trying to change to a dir that is not accessible due to the safe mode restrictions, the function simply fails without generating any kind of error message.

(Tested in PHP 4.3.10-16, Debian Sarge default)

If you run this script when $sym_dir is a symbolic link to a directory:
  echo getcwd()."\n";
  chdir ($sym_dir);
  chdir ('../');
  echo getcwd()."\n";

It returns for example:
  /dades/loc/real/mapes/navteq/anloc
  /mapes/anloc

It will not return to the previous directory, it returns to the parent of the real directory where it links the symbolic link.

It's not necessary a bug but I think it's important to have present this.

It could be solved saving the current directory and then returning to it. For example:
  $cwd = getcwd();
  echo getcwd()."\n";
  chdir ($sym_dir);
  chdir ($cwd);
  echo getcwd()."\n";

It returns:
  /dades/loc/real/mapes/navteq/anloc
  /dades/loc/real/mapes/navteq/anloc

Have fun :)
