I ran this test with the command line interface. <?php echo '['.realpath('./invalid/dir/or/file/name').']'; ?> The results: On Windows : [d:\http\invalid\dir\or\file\name] On Linux : [] The function should return false if the file is not a valid file (according to the documentation). It does not do this in Windows. I am not making this up. The problem still exists, on both Windows 2000 Pro and Windows XP Pro. Though possible, I doubt this is a configuration issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-20 19:10:11] sniper@php.net This is back, on windows, realpath() returns still any path, even if it doesn't exist. (manual says it's supposed to return FALSE in such case) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-04 16:21:58] mfischer@php.net This bug has been fixed in CVS.
