note 124661 added to function.is-executable

This function returns the value for the process PHP is executing under. /var/somebody/files was only executable by owner (700). It contained world-readable files, but without execute permission, PHP could not access the directory to download the files. is_executable() returned false. Making the dir world-executable (701) gave access to PHP. The download worked. And is_executable() returned true. I assume that if I added PHP to the group of the folder and gave the group executable permission, that would also work. ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 185.85.3.172 (proxied: 157.131.99.133) ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.is-executable.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/124661 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124661/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124661/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124661/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124661/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124661/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124661/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/124661 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/124661 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
