Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-10-02 14:12:01] christian dot koncilia at gmx dot net Description: ------------ Using Windows 7, create a directory "C:\dirtest\Au". Run the test script. Output produced is: bool(true) bool(true) bool(false) bool(false) bool(false) bool(false) although neither $file1 nor $file2 exist! Expected output would be "bool(false)" in all cases. Test script: --------------- <?php $file1 = 'C:\dirtest\Au\aux.gtb'; $file2 = 'C:\dirtest\Au\bux.gtb'; var_dump(is_file($file1)); var_dump(file_exists($file1)); var_dump(is_readable($file1)); var_dump(is_file($file2)); var_dump(file_exists($file2)); var_dump(is_readable($file2)); Expected result: ---------------- bool(false) bool(false) bool(false) bool(false) bool(false) bool(false) Actual result: -------------- bool(true) bool(true) bool(false) bool(false) bool(false) bool(false) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55832&edit=1
