Req #67020 [NEW]: Lower severity of error when directory already exists

From: spam06 at geekhood dot net Operating system: * PHP version: 5.6.0alpha3 Package: Directory function related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Lower severity of error when directory already exists Description: ------------ Currently when mkdir() finds that the directory already exists it triggers E_WARNING. IMHO this is unnecessarily high severity, as the error is generally harmless. The whole point of this function is to make the directory exist. I suggest lowering the severity to E_NOTICE. Test script: --------------- <?php mkdir("test"); mkdir("test"); Expected result: ---------------- Notice: mkdir(): File exists Actual result: -------------- Warning: mkdir(): File exists -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67020&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67020&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67020&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67020&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67020&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67020&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67020&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67020&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67020&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67020&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67020&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67020&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67020&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67020&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67020&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67020&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67020&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67020&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67020&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67020&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67020&r=mysqlcfg
