    Jani, don't you think this should be investigated ..?

    I thought this was made consistent or so.... or maybe it is
    and I just don't get the picture.

I don't remember which modules was it, but I saw commit getting rid of warnings. I think we really need consistency for error messages... -- Yasuo Ohgaki

ID: 14294 User updated by: mike@hbhosting.com Reported By: mike@hbhosting.com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: FreeBSD 4.3 PHP Version: 4.1.0 New Comment: You don't think it's odd that the function that checks to see if a directory exists returns a warning on what it's supposed to be doing?? Earlier versions of PHP did not do this, and to me that makes it a 'bug'. While yes, it can be suppressed, it should be functional in the same way previous versions of PHP worked. This in no way is a 'feature' of the function. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-30 02:43:04] sniper@php.net (or using @ in front of the function) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-30 02:42:49] sniper@php.net Warnings can be supressed by setting error_reporting correctly. Not a bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-29 21:28:20] mike@hbhosting.com In PHP 4.1 RC3 (non CVS release), the is_dir() function causes a warning that says "stat failed on /your/path" if the path does not exist. This was causing havok with scripts of mine that relied on no output for errors.. Of course I just suppressed the message, but it really shouldnt be there. The function is designed to check for an existing dir, it should work without warnings! Hopefully this can be fixed in the next release. On a side note, PHP 4.1 (CVS version) does not install under FreeBSD 4.3. However the version available at http://www.php.net/~zeev/php-4.1.0RC3.tar.gz does work!
