chroot not working ?

[Balderick]

I'm trying to set chroot.

I get the following error message:

 

( ! ) Fatal error: Call to undefined function chroot() in X:\wamp\www\dir1\dir2\test-getcwd.php on line 5

Call Stack

{main}( )

...\test-getcwd.php:0

 

my script is like this:

    <?php   

    echo getcwd() . "\n"; 
    chroot('X:\wamp\www\dir3') . "\n";
    echo getcwd() . "\n";

     ?>

Is it possible chroot is not default set in wamp or am I making a mistake?

The first thing I would check is what version of PHP you're running.

 

Edit:

It looks like there's a note in the manual http://php.net/chroot

 

This function is only available to GNU and BSD systems, and only when using the CLI, CGI or Embed SAPI. Also, this function requires root privileges.
