#14049 [Com]: Inconsistent return in realpath

ID: 14049 Comment by: brandon dot whitehead at orst dot edu Reported By: g dot noel at symphonieonline dot com Status: Assigned Bug Type: *Directory/Filesystem functions Operating System: win32 only PHP Version: 4.3.3RC5-dev, 5.0.0b2-dev Assigned To: iliaa New Comment: I get the following output when run on Linux and Windows, both running 4.3.2. 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.

(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. You can grab a snapshot of the CVS version at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/. In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-14 04:24:48] g dot noel at symphonieonline dot com <?php echo '['.realpath('./invalid/dir/or/file/name).']'; ?> On Windows : [c:\www\invalid\dir\or\file\name] On Linux : [] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14049&edit=1
