Bug #77077 [Opn->Ver]: rmdir() should return FALSE if directory locked by dir()

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77077&edit=1 ID: 77077 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: edgaras dot janusauskas at gmail dot com Summary: rmdir() should return FALSE if directory locked by dir() -Status: Open +Status: Verified Type: Bug Package: *Directory/Filesystem functions Operating System: Windows 10 PHP Version: 7.2.11 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Well, the basic issue is that contrary to POSIX' rmdir()[1], Windows' RemoveDirectory()[2] only “marks a directory for deletion on close”, but claims success, even if the directory is not immediately removed. The difference between glob() and scandir() on Windows is that the former calls php_sys_lstat() on the directory (which fails), but the latter does not.

Test script: --------------- mkdir('testdir'); mkdir('testdir/sub'); $d = dir('testdir/sub'); while (false !== ($entry = $d->read())) { //echo $entry . "\n"; } //$d->close(); printf("rmdir=%d\n", rmdir('testdir/sub')); printf("glob=[%s]\n", implode(', ', glob('testdir/*'))); printf("scandir=[%s]\n", implode(', ', scandir('testdir'))); Expected result: ---------------- rmdir() should really succeed deleting folder and any further operations should work as with not existing one. rmdir=1 glob=[] scandir=[., ..] Deleting parent directory succeeds or rmdir() should fail with "Permission denied" on first try and any further operations should work as with still existing one. rmdir=0 glob=[testdir/sub] scandir=[., .., sub] Deleting parent directory fails Actual result: -------------- rmdir=1 glob=[] on PHP 7.0-7.2 glob=[testdir/sub] on PHP 5.6 scandir=[., .., sub] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77077&edit=1
