Req #36868 [Opn->Nab]: fopen does not set errno for posix_get_last_error

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=36868&edit=1 ID: 36868 Updated by: heiglandreas@php.net Reported by: dgatwood at mac dot com Summary: fopen does not set errno for posix_get_last_error -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Feature/Change Request -Package: Feature/Change Request +Package: *General Issues Operating System: Mac OS X PHP Version: 5.1.2 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: posix_get_last_error — Retrieve the error number set by the last posix function that failed - fopen is not part of the posix-extension. So this is not a bug. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-27 06:25:53] dgatwood at mac dot com Description: ------------ On Mac OS X, when fopen() fails with a permission denied error, the result of a subsequent posix_get_last_error() call is zero (0). I would expect this to be set to the value of errno returned by the underlying open or fopen call. I would also expect this to work for put_file_contents, but also get a rather useless zero when calling posix_get_last_error() after that fails. However, since that isn't a POSIX function, I can accept that it wouldn't behave in this way... but fopen is a standard POSIX function, and should be setting errno. Currently, it appears that without explicitly doing a stat on the directory, it is impossible to distinguish a permissions problem from some other error return (e.g. file exists, I/O error, etc.). Reproduce code: --------------- $fp = fopen("/unwritabledirectory/filename", "w"); if (!$fp) { print "Error was: ".posix_get_last_error().".\n"; } Expected result: ---------------- I would expect the fopen to fail with a permission denied error, errno to be set appropriately, and posix_get_last_error () to fetch that value. Actual result: -------------- Error is always zero (0). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=36868&edit=1
