Bug #68935 [NEW]: fwrite won't recreate deleted file to write to

From: mattsch at gmail dot com Operating system: Gentoo Linux 13.0 PHP version: 5.6.5 Package: Filesystem function related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:fwrite won't recreate deleted file to write to Description: ------------ Open/create a file with fopen. Then delete the file with unlink. Finally, write to that already opened resource with fwrite. fwrite reports the number of bytes written without any errors but the file no longer exists so nothing is actually written to a file. One of two options should happen: 1. fwrite should emit a warning and report bytes written as false or 2. fwrite should recreate the deleted file and write to it and report the bytes written. Test script: --------------- <?php $resource = fopen('foo', 'w'); unlink('foo'); $bytesWritten = @fwrite($file, 'bar'); $error = error_get_last(); var_dump($error); var_dump($bytesWritten); var_dump(file_exists('foo')); Expected result: ---------------- array(4) { ["type"]=> int(2) ["message"]=> string(58) "fwrite(): cannot write to file because file no longer exists" ["file"]=> string(27) "/home/foo/foo.php" ["line"]=> int(4) } bool(false) bool(false) --or-- NULL int(3) bool(true) Actual result: -------------- NULL int(3) bool(false) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68935&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68935&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68935&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68935&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68935&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68935&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68935&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68935&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68935&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68935&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68935&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68935&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68935&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68935&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68935&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68935&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68935&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68935&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68935&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68935&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68935&r=mysqlcfg
