Bug #73877 [Com]: readlink() returns garbage for UTF paths

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73877&edit=1 ID: 73877 Comment by: kulakov74 at yandex dot ru Reported by: kulakov74 at yandex dot ru Summary: readlink() returns garbage for UTF paths Status: Feedback Type: Bug Package: Filesystem function related Operating System: Windows 8.1 PHP Version: 7.1.0 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Yes, thank you, but in this particular case it doesn't matter - everything works the same way with "\\". And sorry, I didn't make it quite clear: in my case, the directory is NOT a link, so readlink() should return the dir, not a target, but it DOESN'T, so my script thinks it IS A LINK. So no mklink command had been used. I use ini_set('default_charset', 'UTF-8'); and then I get the dir from opendir()/readdir(), so it should be UTF-8. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-01-06 19:51:08] ab@php.net Thanks for the report. Double quotes will lead to the backslash extrapolation, backslash need to be escaped therefore. Need also to know, what kind of link is that? Also - is the string passed UTF-8 encoded? Could you provide maybe an exact mklink command or alike, to get the reproducer? I've just tried with a junction and see no issue. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-01-05 23:42:41] kulakov74 at yandex dot ru Description: ------------ I work in CLI on Windows. After they finally 'Fixed UTF-8 and long path support on Windows' in PHP 7.1.0 I installed it and after changing default_charset to UTF-8 things seem to work, but when I call readlink() with Cyrillic paths it returns the same path cut somewhere near the end with a garbage character added. For example: "C:\Users\Серёжка" -> "C:\Users\Сер�" readlink() is supposed to return the same path for regular directories, which it does for ones not having UTF characters. Test script: --------------- $FullName="C:\Users\Серёжка"; echo(readlink($FullName)); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73877&edit=1
