PHP 4.0 Bug #9518 Updated: dir() only returns first 6 chars correctly

ID: 9518 User Update by: waldowda@plu.edu Old-Status: Feedback Status: Open Bug Type: Directory function related Description: dir() only returns first 6 chars correctly Hi Jani, Thanks for the message. I have not tried that distribution. It took me many months to get a successful install on my irix box and I am a bit reluctant right now to take a chance and maybe 'break it'. 8-) The php/mysql system is current running an abstract service for a regional chemical conference and I don't want to take a chance at making that go down. 8-) The abstract deadline is the 16th of march and after that I feel comfortable enough trying to building a new version on the irix box. BTW, php/mysql has been a great addition to the my uses for chemistry web servers. Sorry for asking for help and not being able to try your suggestion until a couple of weeks. I will try the lasted non-snapshot release as soon as the server is not so critical. I am guessing that I could maybe try to build it so that is doesn't write over the current working version. If I can figure that out, I will try to get to that sooner. Thanks again for the quick resonse!

The following code behaves properly on linux and does not using irix: Contents of the dir (only folders) are: CH104/ CH105/ CH120/ ABCDEFGHIJKL/ abcdefghijkl/ When I execute the following code: chdir("$dir_path"); echo ("Dir Path = $dir_path<br>"); $dir = dir("."); $dir -> rewind(); $file=$dir->read(); echo ("file is $file<br>n"); $file=$dir->read(); echo ("file is $file<br>n"); $file=$dir->read(); echo ("file is $file<br>n"); $file=$dir->read(); echo ("file is $file<br>n"); I get the following incorrect results (php 4.0.2, irix 6.5.7) Dir Path = /Public/Web/db/msds file is . file is .. file is CH104 file is CH105 file is CH120 file is ABCDEFþõ~KL file is abcdefþõ~kl So, it appears that if the dir (or file) is less than or equal to 6 char the dir() function work correctly. However, if it is longer, the name get garbled. On a redhat linux box (php 4.0.2), it works fine and I get proper dir names. This behavior is the same for filenames not just dir names. I have checked the bugs.php.net and email lists without finding information related to this problem. Hope I have not missed it some where...
