#19287 [Com]: updating from 4.2.2 to 4.2.3 file_exists fails

ID: 19287 Comment by: simon@oxads.com Reported By: soletan@toxa.de Status: Closed Bug Type: Apache2 related Operating System: Linux 2.4.18 PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: I am currently having this problem with relative paths and file_exists (among file functions) using apache 2.0.43 and php 4.3.0RC1 as DSO. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-11 03:48:16] edink@php.net This bug has been fixed in the STABLE branch. You can get the fixed version at http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz which is basically 4.2.3 + a couple of fixes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-09 05:24:39] sniper@php.net If it works -> closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-09 02:00:30] soletan@toxa.de Okay, I feel a bit under-informed about snaps.php.net ... after realising by using phpinfo, that STABLE-foo is still 4.2.3 I took same snapshot without "STABLE" ... Downloading php4-200209082100.tgz, do the same before (configure.nice,all,install,restart apache). Additionally I turned back another snippet of code where I used file_exists before including. After doing that it didn't run under 4.2.3 again. The code initially turned back still did a good job and I don't know why - it's assumed to be passed before the second snippet of code gets parsed and executed. Well, after restarting apache I first assumed to have 4.3.0-dev running, then calling the script with both places turned back to use file_exists and everything was fine there. For some further assertion I installed 4.2.3 again, checked this installation with phpinfo and reloaded the site and it didn't work ... I cycled another time to proove my tests finally and that's my closing line: it works under 4.3.0-dev. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-09 01:24:29] soletan@toxa.de So, I installed snapshot php4-STABLE-200209082100.tgz with my old configure.nice, made "all install" and restarted apache. Then I turned back what I've changed to workaround that "bug" and reloaded the page. He did it "fortunately". Then I changed to php-4.2.3-installation dir and made install and restarted Apache again. It kept on doing it. Damn, I really called the script several times before, restarted apache and the whole and he didn't. I can't explain and guess you don't, too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-08 14:09:41] fillmore@NRCan.gc.ca Tests show this is also the cause of a 4.2.3 include file bug- my bug #19291. I'm using an iPlanet 4.x NSAPI configuration. Any chance there will be a fix before 4.3.0? (ie. 4.2.4?)
