How do you find the current working directory? Why isn't there a 'pwd()' function?

One way you can figure this out is to use the __FILE__ constant.  It 
constains the full path the file being executed.  You can use dirname() 
to chop off the file name.  Try this script:
<?
   print(dirname(__FILE__));
?>
This will be your working directory when your script starts, so if you 
use chdir(), you'll have to track it yourself.

 .. <?=getcwd()?> will do the same thing, only cheaper
