It should be there this time. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-12 17:33:29] kibab at icehouse dot net I can't get to it, I just keep getting a 404 error? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-12 01:00:10] tony2001@php.net Please try this patch: http://tony2001.phpclub.net/dev/tmp/bugs_29840_31618.diff (with the latest snapshot/CVS). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-11 15:57:11] kibab at icehouse dot net Yes. I read docs, although I sometimes misunderstand them: Note in my previous post: safe_mode_include_dir = /usr/share/pear Also note that per the documentation (http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.safe-mode.php): "safe_mode_include_dir string UID/GID checks are bypassed when including files from this directory and its subdirectories (directory must also be in include_path or full path must including)." Certainly $myfilename = '/usr/share/pear/commonfile.php'; is in safe_mode_include dir. Thus, the error message is incorrect and *is* a PHP bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-11 11:10:57] tony2001@php.net Did you read something about safe_mode before turning it On? "By default, Safe Mode does a UID compare check when opening files. If you want to relax this to a GID compare, then turn on safe_mode_gid. Whether to use UID (FALSE) or GID (TRUE) checking upon file access." (c) http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.safe-mode.php So, it's perfectly fine to have these errors and to have FALSE in is_readable() because you turned safe_mode yourself. This is expected behaviour. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-11 01:59:45] kibab at icehouse dot net Ok. It says (see http://www.ewu.edu/web/tools/bug31618_3.php): Warning: fopen() [function.fopen]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid/gid is 687/694 is not allowed to access /usr/share/pear/commonfile.php owned by uid/gid 0/0 in /var/www/sites/web/tools/bug31618_3.php on line 3 Warning: fopen(/usr/share/pear/commonfile.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Resource temporarily unavailable in /var/www/sites/web/tools/bug31618_3.php on line 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
