#41480 [NEW]: realpath returns false on valid path without filename

From: derek dot ethier at gmail dot com Operating system: Windows Server 2003 PHP version: 5.2.2 PHP Bug Type: Filesystem function related Bug description: realpath returns false on valid path without filename Description: ------------ In PHP < 5.2.2 the realpath function would return a string value on a valid path passed to the function. In 5.2.2 it returns false unless a filename is specified. Going over the documentation it looks like this might be an expected result, but it is different from earlier versions. Extensions: curl, ldap, mssql, mysql, pdo, pdo_sqlite, pdo_mssql, sqlite, tidy, ssh2 I'm using the php.ini file from my 5.2.1 installation and going over the incompatibilities and changes from 5.2.1 the only change that seems related is this one: - SplFileObject::getFilename() returns the filename, not relative/path/to/file, as of PHP 5.2.1. Reproduce code: --------------- $path1 = 'E:\\webroot\\'; $path2 = 'E:\\webroot\\index.php'; var_dump(realpath($path1)); var_dump(realpath($path2)); Expected result: ---------------- string 'E:\webroot\' (length=11) string 'E:\webroot\index.php' (length=20) Actual result: -------------- boolean false string 'E:\webroot\index.php' (length=20) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41480&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41480&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41480&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41480&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41480&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41480&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41480&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41480&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41480&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41480&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41480&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41480&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41480&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41480&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41480&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41480&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41480&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41480&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41480&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41480&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41480&r=mysqlcfg
