It should simply be a matter of (in ext/posix/posix.c #include <unistd.h> .... PHP_FE(posix_access, NULL) .... /* {{{ proto bool posix_access(string filename, int mode) check user's permissions for a file */ PHP_FUNCTION(posix_access) { char *filename = NULL; int argc = ZEND_NUM_ARGS(); int mode = 0; if (zend_parse_parameters(argc TSRMLS_CC, "s|l", &filename, &mode) == FAILURE) return; if (access(filename, mode) != 0) { php_error(E_WARNING,"posix_access: error checking access for %s: %s", filename, strerror(errno)); } else { return 0; } } As far as I can see, access() has always been a POSIX function. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14924&edit=1
