Quirk: is-readable returns true if the file has the user-read bit set, regardless if the process can
actually read the file or not.
Example:
File (user/group 500/500)
PHP Process running as (99/99)
-rw-r--r-- is_readable returns true
-rw------- is_readable returns true(!?)
--w-r--r-- is_readable returns false(!?)
Same problem with is_writable. These two functions return completely useless information.
<B>is_readable</B> cannot be trusted to return correct information! Use
<B>stat</B> or <B>fileperms</B> and do the work youself.
