PHP 4.0 Bug #7573 Updated: closedir keeps directory open

ID: 7573 Updated by: sniper Reported By: jase@sensis.com Status: Feedback Bug Type: Directory function related Assigned To: Comments: I can not reproduce this with latest CVs. Could you try it out? --Jani Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-11-01 14:56:56] jase@sensis.com I have some code that mounts a remote file system, gets a directory listing, and then unmounts the file system. After upgraded to php 4.0.3pl1 from php3, the code did not work. Specifically, I could not unmount the file system. After looking into this, I discovered that even though I called closedir, the directory was still in use, and therefore could not be unmounted. This little code segment below shows the problem: <? $dh = opendir("."); closedir($dh); sleep(30); ?> During the sleep, which is after the closedir, I did a lsof, and found the following: apache 444 root 5r DIR 3,65 1024 47110 /usr/local/www-data/normal/htdocs To get around this, I put the code which opens, reads, and closes the directory into it's own function. It appears that when the function completes, the directory is really closed, and I can unmount the file system. Let me know if you need any more info. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=7573
