PHP - chdir() save the new directory

I'm working with chdir() and it's my first time and I'm having problems when I change the directory.

Well, when I change the directory I use chdir(directory_name); but then when I check for the current directory or if I try to access to another directory that exists in the directory that I enter the first time I have an error because the actual directory didn't change

EDIT: Sorry for not show any code but I found the solution. I create a $_SESSION to store the current directory and the new directory when I change it. 

  if(!isset($_SESSION['dir'])) {
      chdir("../../filesystem");
      $_SESSION['dir'] = getcwd();
  } else {
      chdir($_SESSION['dir']);
  }

Did you check for success/failure? e.g:

$result = chdir('newdir');
if ($result === false) {
   die("Could not chdir()");
}
