#30931 [Com]: is_writable() and is_readable() return false when access is permitted via ACL

ID: 30931 Comment by: 1 at 234 dot cx Reported By: bugzilla-php at bwurst dot org Status: No Feedback Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: gentoo linux (kernel 2.6) PHP Version: 5.0.2 New Comment: I was just wondering if anyone can review the patch which has been posted here. This seems to be a well defined bug with a patch that solves the problem, is there any reason not to check it in? If there *is* a reason not to check the patch in, I am sure one of us will work on improving it. Before we can do this, though, we need a clue what issues people see with the patch as it stands.

I have just experienced the bug on Fedora 4. I tried JR's patch, and that solves the problem for me. Thanks, Pete ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-06-12 16:16:35] jr at terragate dot net I've written a patch to address this issue. It uses POSIX's access function to determine file permissions. I tested this patch on Mac OS 10.4.1, Windows XP SP2 and FreeBSD 5.2.1. I am not sure if this patch also works for Win 9x (maybe R_OK, W_OK etc. are not defined there) and other non POSIX conformant OSes. Probably some more #ifndefs are required. http://jr.terragate.net/access.diff ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-05-12 21:34:01] nickls at apple dot com This also effects OS X Tiger ACLs. Why was this changed from access() on PHP 4.3.X? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
