note 104505 added to function.is-file

is_file doesn't recognize files whose filenames contain strange characters like czech ů or russian characters in general. I've seen many scripts that take it for granted that a path is a directory when it fails is_file($path). When trying to determine whether a path links to a file or a dir, you should always use is_dir after getting false from is_file($path). For cases like described above, both will fail. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 190.133.128.51 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-file.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/104505 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104505/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104505/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104505/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104505/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104505/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104505/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104505 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/104505 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
