Bug #67071 [NEW]: webPhar() does not work with symlinked files

From: cweiske Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.4.27 Package: PHAR related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:webPhar() does not work with symlinked files Description: ------------ Running a symlinked .phar file through a web server makes Phar::webPhar() return, thus not detecting that it's running in a web environment. The use case for symlinked phars is version updated. Suppose my .phar-released app has several version "test-0.0.1.phar" and "test-0.0.2.phar", but I don't want to expose that in the browser URL. So I simply symlink test.phar to test-0.0.1.phar, and updating simply means changing the symlink to point to test-0.0.2.phar. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create the phar with the given test script 2. Open phar in browser, you'll get "web". 3. Symlink it to test2.phar 4. Open test2.phar in browser, you'll get "cli". Test script: --------------- <?php if (file_exists('test.phar')) { unlink('test.phar'); } $phar = new Phar('test.phar'); $phar->addFromString('www/index.php', '<?php echo "web";?>'); $phar->setStub( '<?php Phar::webPhar(null, "www/index.php"); echo "cli\n"; __HALT_COMPILER(); ?>' ); ?> Expected result: ---------------- "web" from test2.phar Actual result: -------------- "cli" from test2.phar -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67071&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67071&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67071&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67071&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67071&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67071&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67071&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67071&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67071&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67071&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67071&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67071&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67071&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67071&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67071&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67071&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67071&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67071&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67071&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67071&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67071&r=mysqlcfg
