PHP 4.0 Bug #8519 Updated: closedir() does not close directory handle until script terminates

ID: 8519 Updated by: sniper Reported By: kat@unleashed.org Old-Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: Directory function related Assigned To: Comments: This is fixed in PHP 4.0.4. --Jani Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-01-02 13:28:43] kat@unleashed.org The below script will generate a "permission denied" error when trying to rmdir the specified directory. sleep() does not do any good (in helping me delete the dir), nor does putting the reading of the directory into a function. After I moved the rmdir into a separate script it did not generate an error. It makes no difference whether it's forward or backward slashes in the path. This happens only after using the opendir/readdir/closedir sequence. I have not tested further to see if readdir may be the issue. This is a stock 4.03pl1 php, running as an apache module. My Test script: ------------------------- <?php $dirName = "c:/temp/foo.bar"; function checkDir() { global $dirName; $dirHandle = opendir($dirName); while($fileName = readdir($dirHandle)) { print $fileName."n"; } closedir($dirHandle); } print "Making directoryn"; mkdir($dirName, 0777); checkDir(); print "Removing directoryn"; rmdir($dirName); ?> -------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=8519
