Doc #64734 [NEW]: file_exists() dependent on file size??

From: W at RHaworth dot net Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:file_exists() dependent on file size?? Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.file-exists#refsect1-function.file-exists-returnvalues --- This section contains the note: "Because PHP's integer type is signed and many platforms use 32bit integers, ..." This note applies to the file_size() function. Surely it does not apply to file_exists()? I am being told that this has been reported before. I suggest a change of wording to the note to indicate that it has not just been blindly copied from file_size() : Note: Although file size should not affect this function, nevertheless it may return unexpected results for files which are larger than 2GB. This is because PHP's integer type is signed and many platforms use 32bit integers. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64734&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64734&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64734&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64734&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64734&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64734&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64734&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64734&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64734&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64734&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64734&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64734&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64734&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64734&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64734&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64734&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64734&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64734&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64734&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64734&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64734&r=mysqlcfg
