Bug #16879: posix_getpwuid() fails incorrectly

From: solo@n-w-t.net Operating system: RedHat Linux 2.2.5 PHP version: 4.0CVS-2002-04-27 PHP Bug Type: POSIX related Bug description: posix_getpwuid() fails incorrectly I am not sure that this is a bug, but for some reason, when attempting to get the file owner of a file getpwuid() fails (used in this context): $uid = fileowner($path); $owner = posix_getpwuid($uid); Fileowner() returns either 0 or 1028, and getpwuid fails. The 0 of course false would mean the file doesnt exist, but using the same variable ($path) in other functions such as fileperms() etc do not fail and return the proper data. Situation: $path = "/home/"; $uid = fileowner($path); $owner = posix_getpwuid($uid); $owner_name = $owner['name']; I have tried the same situation with valid filenames (instead of directories). all extensions are enabled and configure line is: './configure' '--target=i386-redhat-linux' '--prefix=/usr' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--disable-debug' '--enable-pic' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs' '--disable-static' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin' '--with-regex=system' '--with-gettext' '--with-gd' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-png' '--with-zlib' '--with-db2' '--with-db3' '--with-gdbm' '--enable-debugger' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-yp' '--enable-ftp' '--without-mysql' '--with-xml' (as phpinfo() says it is) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16879&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16879&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16879&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16879&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16879&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16879&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16879&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16879&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16879&r=submittedtwice
