Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-07 19:08:08] v-sumada at microsoft dot com Description: ------------ SplFileInfo::isLink() Which returns False for Symbolic links on all windows OS. we have a File Symbolic link created for a file and tried to test whether the referenced file by SplFileInfo is symbolic link or not. In the above script we have a symlink(filesymlink)created for a file 'testfile' and tried to check with the file_exists function for symlink(filesymlink) which returns true and it returns false for the SplFileInfo::isLink(). Test script: --------------- <?php $symlinkname = "/path/to/filesymlink"; $fileinfo = new SplFileInfo($symlinkname); var_dump(file_exists($symlinkname)); var_dump($fileinfo->isLink()); ?> Expected result: ---------------- bool(true) bool(true) Actual result: -------------- bool(true) bool(false) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51766&edit=1
