Your posting style just begs for <http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-
questions.html> as the only answer (in particular 
<http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#beprecise>).

But I think I have actually found some relevant facts between the lines of 
the 179-lines diary entry that you have posted in place of your good 
question.

Anyhow, please read that tutorial to make it better next time.

No, about 99% of it is quite irrelevant to your question.  Does "reduce test 
case" ring a bell?

So let me get this straight:

1. You are explicitly cd-ing to c:\parallels\plesk\additional\pleskphp5
   (for whatever reason)

2. You run php.exe
   c:\inetpub\vhosts\aloyaltycard.com\httpdocs\groupmail\groupmail.php

3. You *wonder* why php.exe cannot find the files in the *current*
   *working* *directory* (c:\parallels\plesk\additional\pleskphp5)
   or can write to it?

$ cat ~/tmp/files.php
<?php echo realpath('.') . "\n";

$ php ~/tmp/files.php
/

(This is on GNU/Linux but that does not make a difference, of course.)

ISTM you should have more cups of tea[tm] before coding.  Besides, you 
cannot just take any PHP Web script and run it with the PHP CLI; to begin 
with, the Web script runs under $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] in a much more 
restricted environment; the CLI runs under the root of the local filesystem 
(or "drive", in Windoze).
