Description:
------------
PHP's fopen() should fail to:
- open read-only streams in write mode (STDIO in 'w' or other write modes)
- open write-only streams in read mode (STDOUT, STDERR etc. in 'r' or other read modes)
This was noticed because of Laravel's logging to stderr failing under Apache/2.4.29 (Win64)
mod_fcgid/2.3.9 and PHP 7.4.8 x64 NTS.
There is possibly a bug with Apache and FastCGI exposing STDERR as non-writable (normally writes
STDERR to the error log), but Laravel logging code checks fopen() result being a stream before
writing to it.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
# c:\my-site\test.php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','On');
$fp = fopen('php://stdin', 'w');
var_dump($fp);
$fp = fopen('php://stderr', 'r');
var_dump($fp);
if ($fp) {
// this then fails on Apache + FastCGI - might be an Apache + FCGI bug causing stderr not to be
writable
fwrite($fp, "test");
}
Expected result:
----------------
bool(false)
bool(false)
Actual result:
--------------
Notice: fwrite(): write of 4 bytes failed with errno=9 Bad file descriptor in test.php on line 7
resource(3) of type (stream)
resource(4) of type (stream)
