The write testcases to check are : ext/standard/tests/file/readlink_realpath_basic1.phpt ext/standard/tests/file/readlink_realpath_variation1.phpt ext/standard/tests/file/readlink_realpath_variation2.phpt The similar failure is also noticed on FreeBSD.

As per the documentation at http://in.php.net/manual/en/function.realpath.php, The resulting path will have no symbolic link, '/./' or '/../' components. Applicable to php5.2.4 only on MacOS X. Please check testcase symlink_link_linkinfo_is_link_variation6.phpt. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $file_path = dirname(__FILE__); $filename = "$file_path/file.tmp"; $linkname = "$file_path/link.tmp"; $fp = fopen($filename, "w"); fclose($fp); symlink($filename, $linkname); var_dump( realpath($linkname) ); unlink($linkname); unlink($filename); ?> Expected result: ---------------- string(%d) "%s/file.tmp" Actual result: -------------- string(%d) "%s/link.tmp" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42038&edit=1
