note 73596 added to function.is-writable

This is the latest version of is__writable() I could come up with. It can accept files or folders, but folders should end with a trailing slash! The function attempts to actually write a file, so it will correctly return true when a file/folder can be written to when the user has ACL write access to it. <?php function is__writable($path) { //will work in despite of Windows ACLs bug //NOTE: use a trailing slash for folders!!! //see http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=27609 //see http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=30931 if ($path{strlen($path)-1}=='/') // recursively return a temporary file path return is__writable($path.uniqid(mt_rand()).'.tmp'); else if (is_dir($path)) return is__writable($path.'/'.uniqid(mt_rand()).'.tmp'); // check tmp file for read/write capabilities $rm = file_exists($path); $f = @fopen($path, 'a'); if ($f===false) return false; fclose($f); if (!$rm) unlink($path); return true; } ?> ---- Server IP: 213.92.11.19 Probable Submitter: 151.44.87.253 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-writable.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/73596 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73596/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73596/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73596/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73596/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73596/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73596/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73596 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/73596 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
