Re: [PHPiCalendar-DEV] 0.8.1

[Chad <ch...@ch...>]

This issue seems to have come about due to Apache 2.x and PHP4.2.x 
working together and breaking relative paths (ie ../filename instead of 
/my/path/filename). This bug was reported at php.net and can be seen at 
the urls:

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=19323
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=19287

The suggested course of action is to upgrade your version of PHP to 
PHP4-STABLE-200210011500 or higher, or consider changing Apache back to 
the 1.3 branch.


Unfortunately using getcwd breaks certain pages, such as the RSS index.
