#41480 [Asn->Fbk]: realpath returns false on valid path without filename

ID: 41480 Updated by: dmitry@php.net Reported By: derek dot ethier at gmail dot com -Status: Assigned +Status: Feedback Bug Type: IIS related Operating System: Windows Server 2003 PHP Version: 5.2.2 Assigned To: dmitry New Comment: I am not able to reprodce this problem with CVS version. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-06-01 16:48:10] derek dot ethier at gmail dot com (This problem is still present in 5.2.3) I don't think that this is the expected result for this function call as the posted expected result is returned with both the CGI module and with Apache2 on the same server. Only the ISAPI module returns the boolean false on a valid path without filename. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-05-26 04:29:40] iliaa@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php The current behavior is the expected one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-05-24 02:13:56] derek dot ethier at gmail dot com 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41480&edit=1
