Would appreciate this patch in PHP4 and PHP5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-12 01:00:33] tony2001@php.net Please try this patch: http://tony2001.phpclub.net/dev/tmp/bugs_29840_31618.diff (with the latest snapshot/CVS). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-12 11:36:05] tony2001@php.net Jani, I sent a patch for this problem to Wez long ago. The problem is that is_executable() indeed doesn't respect safe_mode_exec_dir as it should, so I'm assigning this to Wez. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-12 02:07:16] sniper@php.net It works just fine. (it returns false always when in safe-mode..) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-25 18:06:12] markus at cultcom dot de Description: ------------ Seems to be a common problem nobody complains about... "is_executable()" does not work in safe_mode! Some PHP-Projects check for sendmail using this function and don't work in safe_mode even if sendmail acutally IS executable (i.e. PEAR: Mail.php). is_executable() should at least honor the safe_mode_exec_dir directive! Reproduce code: --------------- <?php if( is_executable( "/usr/sbin/sendmail" ) ) { print ("no probs!\n"); } else { print ("this really sucks!\n"); } ?> Try with PHP/CGI and suexec + safe_mode where example-UID != sendmail-UID Expected result: ---------------- true, what else? Actual result: -------------- false. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29840&edit=1
