Old Summary: stat does not report on dead links
Status: Open
Bug Type: Filesystem function related
Operating System: linux
PHP Version: 4.0.6
New Comment:
i fidled around with this bug a little and it looks like 'fileperms' also fails to report
anything on a dead link. it doesnt even report unknown, it just returns false.
'is_link' on the opposite works fine with dead links.

sorry, there was a typo below. to avoid confusion the function is "stat" not
"fstat".

if you have a link ('foo') pointing at a non exsitent target ('bar'), fstat
returns false and does not report anything about it, but even dead links have an owner etc.
