#45228 [NEW]: unlink() doesn't work with path like "file:///C:/my/path..."

From: nanawel at eyeos dot org Operating system: Windows XP Pro SP2 (32bits) PHP version: 5.2.6 PHP Bug Type: Filesystem function related Bug description: unlink() doesn't work with path like "file:///C:/my/path..." Description: ------------ The unlink() function does not work with full Windows URL, whereas fopen() for example works perfectly. If you provide a path like this: file:///C:/my/path (triple slashes) it won't work and you will get this warning: Warning: unlink(/C:/my/path) [function.unlink]: Invalid argument in... But if you provide this path: file://C:/my/path (so just a slash less) unlink will work. Reproduce code: --------------- //For the example, we consider that PHP has full permissions on config.sys, which is not the case normally) $path1 = 'file:///C:/config.sys'; $path2 = 'file://C:/config.sys'; $fp = fopen($path1, 'r'); //OK @fclose($fp); unlink($path1); //ERROR $fp = fopen($path2, 'r'); //OK @fclose($fp); unlink($path2); //OK Expected result: ---------------- unlink() should work with the same standards URL as fopen(). In my example, $path1 should be correct for both functions. Actual result: -------------- Windows absolute URL like file:///C:/... work with fopen(), rename() but _not_ with unlink() (+ Warning raised) Windows non-standard URL like file://C:/... work with fopen(), rename() and unlink() -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45228&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45228&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45228&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45228&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45228&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45228&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45228&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45228&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45228&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45228&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45228&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45228&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45228&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45228&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45228&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45228&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45228&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45228&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45228&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45228&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45228&r=mysqlcfg
