#27498 [NEW]: wrong error message generated by opendir when safe mode is in effect

From: troels at kyberfabrikken dot dk Operating system: red hat linux PHP version: 4.3.4 PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: wrong error message generated by opendir when safe mode is in effect Description: ------------ while trying to open a dir that diddent exist, i recieved a wrong error-message. this caused me to waste a lot of time, before i finally figured out the real problem. 1. php is running as module under apache in safe mode. version = 4.3.3 2. /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/ is my www root 3. /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/data/ is a dir, end it's CHMOD 777 4. /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/data/subdir is non-existent i recieve this error message : Warning in line 3 of file /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/index.php [2] opendir(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 503 is not allowed to access /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/data/subdir owned by uid 0 witch gave my a few hours messing around until i finally discovered that i just forgot to create the dir in mention. however - if php had given me a more precise error, i would have saved a lot of time. when it comes down to it, safemode had nothing to do with the real problem.
