Bug #71035 [NEW]: Rename() on Windows fails with read-only permissions on the target file

From: info at mikekeran dot com Operating system: Windows PHP version: 5.5.30 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Rename() on Windows fails with read-only permissions on the target file Description: ------------ When using rename to replace an existing file, PHP on Windows incorrectly gives an access denied if the target file is read-only (0444): An access denied error should only be given if the target file's directory permissions should keep the current user from writing to that location. Linux (tested on Ubuntu 14.04) works as expected. Test script: --------------- <?php file_put_contents('./test.txt', 'test data'); file_put_contents('./newtest.txt', 'new test data'); chmod('test.txt', 0666); rename('newtest.txt', 'test.txt'); print "test.txt is now: " . file_get_contents('./test.txt') . "\n"; file_put_contents('./test.txt', 'test data'); file_put_contents('./newtest.txt', 'new test data'); chmod('test.txt', 0444); rename('newtest.txt', 'test.txt'); print "test.txt is now: " . file_get_contents('./test.txt') . "\n"; Expected result: ---------------- test.txt is now: new test data test.txt is now: new test data Actual result: -------------- test.txt is now: new test data Warning: rename(newtest.txt,test.txt): Access is denied.
