Creates a new file. <?php touch('existing-file'); ?> - Correct. Changes file's mtime. <?php touch('existing-directory'); ?> - Wrong on Win2K. Does not change directory's mtime. Correct on Linux. I did not test any other Win32 platforms. Filesystem: NTFS. The user running the script owns 'existing-directory'. safe_mode=Off. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php touch('existing-directory'); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Change mtime of an existing directory. Actual result: -------------- Utime failed: Permission denied in <fullpath/to/existing-directory> on line 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35980&edit=1
