Operating system: IRIX 6.5.8f
PHP version: 4.0.1pl2
PHP Bug Type: Misbehaving function
Bug description: readdir returns valid filenames only if they are <= 13 characters in
length.
Greater than 13 character filenames tend to return as garbage after the first 13/14 characters.
Compiled PHP with gcc 2.8.1 (built under IRIX 6.5.3m (?)).
An example of a returned file name with readdir is: general399f1d3^Z01c
Where the filename is: general399f1d36ea41c
Example code:
$handle = opendir($config["base"] ."/contrib");
while ($file = readdir($handle)) { $f++; }
closedir($handle);
if ($f > 2) { // if there are files to be processed
$handle=opendir($config["base"] ."/contrib");
while (($file = readdir($handle))!==false)
{
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
print $file;
}
