Req #76081 [NEW]: mkdir(..., ..., true) should not return false when the directory exists
From: marco dot agnoli at me dot com
Operating system: Irrelevant
PHP version: Irrelevant
Package: Directory function related
Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description:mkdir(..., ..., true) should not return false when the directory exists
Description:
------------
It would be really useful if the mkdir function with the $recursive
parameter set to TRUE would behave the same way as mkdir -p command on
linux.
The difference between the two is that mkdir -p does not report an error
if the directory already exists while the php version does.
And triggering a WARNING seems a bit too much, why not trigger a NOTICE
or nothing at all when the directory already exists?
If backwards compatibility is a concern then we can create a new
function called "mkdirp($path, $perm)".
Test script:
---------------
<?php
var_dump(mkdir('/tmp/a/b/c/d/', 0777, true));
var_dump(mkdir('/tmp/a/b/c/d/', 0777, true));
Expected result:
----------------
bool(true)
bool(true)
Actual result:
--------------
bool(true)
bool(false)
