#49900 [NEW]: RecursiveIteratorIterator fails when path variable contains folders name "root"

From: wloske at yahoo dot de Operating system: Win XP SP2 PHP version: 5.2.11 PHP Bug Type: SPL related Bug description: RecursiveIteratorIterator fails when path variable contains folders name "root" Description: ------------ The RecursiveIteratorIterator fails when the variable containing the path name to be traversed contains "root" anywhere. Scanning a directory containing a folder named root works though. 1. Try the code, nothing should happen. 2. Rename the directory to "woot" and adjust the $basedir variabel 3. Restart the code. You should see a result 4. Make a directory like test and a directory inside named "root" with some content in it. 5. Adjust $basedir to point to the parent of "root", e.g. "e:\test" 6. Restart. You should see the contents of test including the folder "root". 7. Adjust $basedir to point to "root" itself, e.g. "E:\test\root" 8. Restart. You should see nothing Reproduce code: --------------- $basedir = realpath("E:\root"); echo "<html><body><pre>"; foreach (new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($basedir, RecursiveDirectoryIterator::KEY_AS_PATHNAME), RecursiveIteratorIterator::CHILD_FIRST) as $file => $info) { if ($info->isDir()) { //Directory echo "Dir: ".$file."<br />"; } else { //File echo "File: ".$file."<br />"; } } echo "</pre></body><html>"; Expected result: ---------------- A list of directories in the given path. Actual result: -------------- Nothing. Neither a listing nor an error. Just plain silence. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49900&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49900&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49900&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49900&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49900&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49900&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49900&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49900&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49900&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49900&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49900&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49900&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49900&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49900&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49900&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49900&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49900&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49900&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49900&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49900&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49900&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=49900&r=mysqlcfg
