#21448 [Opn->Bgs]: apache_lookup_uri returns "valid URI" even when passed non-existent filenames

ID: 21448 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: awkay69@hotmail.com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Apache2 related Operating System: Linux (redhat) PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. apache_lookup_uri() is a very simple wrapper around Apache 2's own ap_sub_req_lookup_uri() function. Any bugs that you encounter while using that function are in Apache 2 and not PHP.

I'm beginning to feel that this is a documentation problem. Neither the Apache or PHP docs say so, but is this just a parsing function that never actually does a stat(2) on the underlying file? I got the impression from the code for virtual() in php-4.3.0/sapi/apache2filter that it did more, but perhaps it is a misunderstanding on my part. This is probably a closable entry in your bug database...sorry. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-05 19:44:13] awkay69@hotmail.com I compiled Apache 2.0.43 and PHP 4.3.0 from source as a DSO. When using the internal PHP apache_lookup_uri(), it always returns status 200. <?php $f = apache_lookup_uri("/abcdef"); echo $f->status; echo $f->the_request; ?> I always get 200, and the URI of the PHP file in which it is enclosed. Does anyone know the apache API??? I dug through the source, but I don't know much about the Apache filter chains and the linkage of the request structures. I'll try to look further when I get a chance, but if anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. - Tony ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21448&edit=1
