chdir in php can't work

I want to change directory using chdir in php, because i need to execute command in Linux. My current directory is /var/www/httpdocs/website/admin,I want to go to httpdocs's sub_directory docs.I use absolute path like:

chdir("/var/www/httpdocs/docs");

but it does't work.

I only can get website using : chdir("../"); or get admin's sub_directory images using : chdir("/var/www/httpdocs/website/admin/images");

but I can't get httpdocs. what's wrong?

Any tips would be appreciated.

Are you sure you have enough user rights to go outside of the website directory ?

If you enable error display, maybe you will understand what's going on. Please try your script again by adding this on top of your php file:

ini_set('display_errors',1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors',1);
error_reporting(-1);

And let me know which error messages you see.
