Received following warning message:
Warning: PHP reports an empty path as the base directory of your site. This is caused by a bug in older versions of PHP. Please tell your host to upgrade the installed PHP version on their server. If you try using the Fix Permissions button it is very possible that you will be locked out of your site.
Host upgraded PHP from 3.5.3 to 7.2.5 and still getting the same warning message

If your site is inside a chroot jail where its root folder is your site's root you can ignore that message. Ask your host about it. Otherwise there's something wrong with PHP reporting the wrong path. In this case please don't use the Fix Permissions since the results are far from being guaranteed.
