#44071 [Opn]: realpath does not handle drive letters correctly

ID: 44071 User updated by: csaba at alum dot mit dot edu Reported By: csaba at alum dot mit dot edu Status: Open Bug Type: Filesystem function related -Operating System: Win XP +Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.2.5 New Comment: is_file and is_dir seem to be similarly affected. For example realpath("c:frump") will return false if c:\frump does not exist (note the extra backslash), whereas it should be checking for frump hanging off the current directory on the c: drive Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-07 16:26:22] csaba at alum dot mit dot edu Description: ------------ realpath does not handle a drive letters correctly, when the drive letter is not followed by a backslash: 1) When books is a subdirectory of the current working directory on the c: drive (getcwd) realpath("c:books") returns false 2) realpath("c:.") and realpath("c:..") both return the three character string: C:\ Expected result: ---------------- 1. books\ should be suffixed onto the current working directory of the c: drive 2. The current working directory of the c: drive (and one level higher for the case of ..) should be returned, instead of the root.
