#44114 [Asn]: [PATH=] in php.ini on windows does not account for case-insensitive FS

ID: 44114 Updated by: pajoye@php.net Reported By: stas at zend dot com Status: Assigned Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.3CVS-2008-02-14 (CVS) Assigned To: pajoye New Comment: A short discussion between Dmitry and me, it may be useful for other: p: we use a hash to cache the settings, the keys come from the path d: I think you should use virtual_file_ex() p: that brings the issues about case insensitive filesystems d: it should restore REAL case of the path if it works we may use the same thing on all platforms and not only windows (file systems may not be platform specific). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-18 11:37:12] pajoye@php.net "But aren't there other case-insensitive filesystems..? For example MacOSX has something like that..?" Yes, a lot even. But it is going to be a pain if we have to manage all of them. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems A possible solution would be to behave what the PHP stream functions do, comments? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-18 11:36:46] jani@php.net And for the HOST sections this should propably be done always regardless of OS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-18 11:29:24] jani@php.net Pierre, since you have a patch and also win32 build env available, I'll assign this to you. But aren't there other case-insensitive filesystems..? For example MacOSX has something like that..? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-17 13:45:18] pajoye@php.net Hi Jani, This patch should do it: http://blog.thepimp.net/patches/php53_ini_win32.patch.txt I only tested it in the console for now. Somehow the .user.ini are ignore when called like: http://blog.thepimp.net/patches/callcgi.bat.txt I will setup an apache + fcgi later this week to see if the hash works as expected :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-14 11:15:14] jani@php.net Yes, this stuff was never tested on Windows. :) Mainly because I haven't got a dev env setup on my machine.. I'll look into this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
