#48443 [NEW]: is_readable returns false on a file which is readable for group

From: spam at noamik dot de Operating system: Debian Lenny PHP version: 5.2.9 PHP Bug Type: Filesystem function related Bug description: is_readable returns false on a file which is readable for group Description: ------------ When executing is_readable("/path/to/my/file.txt") the function returns false, even so file permissions are as follows: -rw-rw---- 1 someuser www-data 1529 2009-06-01 04:28 file.txt where www-data is a group the web server executing the script is member of. To eliminate caching issues, clearstatcache(); has been executed before. The same goes for is_writable. I'm not shure if it is intended or a bug, but if it is intended, the documentation would be wrong (at least IMHO). If it is intended, a similar function for group rights would be needed ... Reproduce code: --------------- --- From manual page: function.is-readable --- Expected result: ---------------- In the above example, is_readable should return true ... Actual result: -------------- is_readable returns true, but file can be opened with fopen anyways ... -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48443&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48443&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48443&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48443&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48443&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48443&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48443&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48443&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48443&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48443&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48443&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48443&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48443&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48443&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48443&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48443&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48443&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48443&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48443&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48443&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48443&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48443&r=mysqlcfg
