#17390 [Com]: dump_file doesn't work if path is not absolute

ID: 17390 Comment by: rrichards@digarc.com Reported By: sysadmin@alexdupre.com Status: Open Bug Type: Apache2 related Operating System: FreeBSD and Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.0CVS-2002-05-23 New Comment: This is still a problem running under windows with any version of apache (though different behavior than Apache2 on FreeBSD at least). see bug 17779 for more information as they are related. This specific bug can be fixed if the file path, being passed or when domxml is writing to a file, is converted to the full path before being sent to the libxml2 function calls. I have a patch for this specific bug, but not sure about adding it as the DTD issue (bug 17779) would still remain which would result in an inconsistant implementation of file directory handling. (passing in filesnames as parameters would work, but DTD references in the xml would not unless they were full path names).

If the path passed to the function is relative, the file is not saved anywhere (first issue) and the function returns anyway the number of bytes written (second issue). From the sources it seems that dump_file simply calls xmlSaveFile from libxml2, so maybe a path check should be done before the call. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17390&edit=1
