Bug #67220 [Opn->Nab]: realpath() on MacOSX doesn't normalize the case of characters

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67220&edit=1 ID: 67220 Updated by: levim@php.net Reported by: nicolas dot grekas+php at gmail dot com Summary: realpath() on MacOSX doesn't normalize the case of characters -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Filesystem function related Operating System: MacOSX/Darwin PHP Version: 5.5.12 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Almost certainly this is because HFS+ is case-sensitive by default. Currently realpath "expands all symbolic links and resolves references to '/./', '/../' and extra '/' characters in the input path and returns the canonicalized absolute pathname". Nowhere does that indicate anything about case sensitivity.

Test script: --------------- <?php var_dump(realpath('/Users') === realpath('/users')); Expected result: ---------------- bool(true) Actual result: -------------- bool(false) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67220&edit=1
