From: watford@uiuc.edu Operating system: FreeBSD 4.3 PHP version: 4.1.0 PHP Bug Type: Filesystem function related Bug description: is_file returns an error rather than if a file exists or not <?php if(is_file($_GET['file'].".php")) { include($_GET['file'].".php"); } elseif(is_file($_GET['focus'].".inc")) { virtual($_GET['focus'].".inc"); } else { virtual("news/news.inc"); } ?> That code throws this error: Warning: stat failed for .php (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in /usr/home/edgewww/helpandsupport.net/cs/htdocs/index.php on line 39 Warning: stat failed for .inc (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in /usr/home/edgewww/helpandsupport.net/cs/htdocs/index.php on line 40 I've corrected this issue by using file_exists but for the sake of not having to change my backend, I'd love for is_file to start working again. -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=14741&edit=1
