Bug->Doc #67048 [Opn->Ver]: pathinfo() doesn't document parsing of dot-files

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67048&edit=1 ID: 67048 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: russellbarnhart at gmail dot com -Summary: pathinfo() incorrectly parsing hidden file paths +Summary: pathinfo() doesn't document parsing of dot-files -Status: Open +Status: Verified -Type: Bug +Type: Documentation Problem Package: Filesystem function related Operating System: *nix PHP Version: Irrelevant -Assigned To: +Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-02-15 21:20:37] cmbecker69 at gmx dot de pathinfo's behavior wrt. "hidden" files might be debatable (under the assumption that extension is defined as everything after the rightmost dot in the basename, it is not a bug). However, the behavior is the same since PHP 4.3 at least[1], so changing it would be a massive BC break. I suggest to improve the documentation, and to change the issue to "Documentation problem" respectively.

This bug is present in at least 5.3.x to 5.5.x. Test script: --------------- # copy & paste into a shell php -r "print_r(pathinfo('/some/path/.test'));" Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [dirname] => /some/path [basename] => .test [extension] => [filename] => .test ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [dirname] => /some/path [basename] => .test [extension] => test [filename] => ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67048&edit=1
