Re: Issue with PHP 5.1.2, XML_Parser , File_XSPF

It looks like indeed file_exists returns true if you pass a string to it. $string = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/"> <title>electroteques Recent Tracks</title> <creator>Audioscrobbler</creator> <info>http://www.last.fm/user/electroteque/</info> <license>http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/uk/</license> <trackList> <track>

Hi there I think I have found a possible bug with file_exists , but id like to check first. From the feature request File_XSPF now contains a method for passing through xspf playlists as strings. However it uses the setInput method in XML_Parser. However within the setInput method $fp as a string , so not a file to be parsed is returning true at the last point file_exists($fp), so is not making it to the last control statement to return a string to $this->fp. This was pretty much breaking File_XSPF for me so ive asked to change it to setInputString ??. So im asking where is the bug, in PHP 5.1.2 with file_exists returning true for data being passed to it when in fact its not a file at all, or a bug in XML_Parser or both ? Let me know, so i can send the reports thanks. function setInput($fp)

    {
        if (is_resource($fp)) {
            $this->fp = $fp;
            return true;
        }
        // see if it's an absolute URL (has a scheme at

the beginning)

        elseif (eregi('^[a-z]+://', substr($fp, 0, 10)))

{

            return $this->setInputFile($fp);
        }
        // see if it's a local file
        elseif (file_exists($fp)) {
            die("yes");
            return $this->setInputFile($fp);
        }
        // it must be a string
        else {
            die("yes");
            $this->fp = $fp;
            return true;
        }
