Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-05-06 18:55:09] jani@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://windows.php.net/snapshots/ This most likely duplicate of bug #45040 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-02 16:07:37] pajoye@php.net Some notes: - mkdir() works with file://C:/my/path under Windows expected. FAILS with file:///C:/my/path under Windows expected (/c:/my/path is not a valid path) FAILS with file://localhost/C:/my/path under Windows expected,localhost/C:/my/path is not a valid path (same for linux, fails as well) However, the touch() funciton seems to have issue with file://, maybe other as well but I did not test them all yet. - rmdir() FAILS with ALL file:// schemes under Windows and Linux ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-01-07 14:58:00] nanawel at eyeos dot org Ok, to sum up: - mkdir() works with file://C:/my/path under Windows FAILS with file:///C:/my/path under Windows FAILS with file://localhost/C:/my/path under Windows - rmdir() FAILS with ALL file:// schemes under Windows and Linux - unlink() works with file://C:/my/path under Windows FAILS with file:///C:/my/path under Windows FAILS with file://localhost/C:/my/path under Windows I think I didn't forget anything, hope this helps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-01-07 14:35:41] pajoye@php.net as the report is about both rmdir and unlink, the issue is not windows specific. Will take care of it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-01-07 14:27:53] nanawel at eyeos dot org Except for the rmdir() function which fails on both Windows AND Linux platforms, all the paths provided in the previous comments are explicite Windows paths. You cannot use "C:\" or "C:/" or "file://C:/" or something else under Linux. That's why I've just changed the OS concerned by the issue from: * (all) to: Windows Thanks for your time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
