 Bug Type:         *Directory/Filesystem functions
 Operating System: Solaris 10
 PHP Version:      5.2CVS-20070627

I think I found the culprit that is bubbling up to PHP here. It effects
users with: 

  - At least Solaris 9 to early versions of 10
  - NFS mounted directories
  - Any setuid application (including apache/php)

>From my previous post, I showed how one server was able to getcwd() in
PHP and other other wasn't.  The root cause is this bug:

http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6226092

I tested the code under Solaris 9 and was able to reproduce it at the
OS level.  The one machine where include("../file.php") works on was
able to successfully execute the solaris bug test code in the NFS
mounted directory:

# pwd
/usr/local/www/sites
# ./solaris-nfs-getcwdtest 
CWD = /usr/local/www/sites
# 

The machine where include("../file.php") gives the "permission denied "
error fails the getcwd command in the directory:

# pwd
/usr/local/www/sites
# ./solaris-nfs-getcwdtest 
getcwd failed!!!
#

I'm not sure if anything can be done with the PHP source here to solve
this since the bug is at the OS level.  Unless there is some other way
to get the CWD for PHP in the above situation.

I am having this problem on *ONE* of two load-balanced servers that are
setup exactly the same and that share an NFS mounted filesystem in
Solaris 9.  The permissions on all the subdirs, all the way from the
root directory are at least 'r' and 'x' and are the same on both
servers.  Both machines are running the same PHP/Apache binary and are
at the same OS patch level.

The following code properly returns the path on one of the machines,
but not the other:

echo getcwd();

Could this have something to do with NFS?

Verified that this is still not working in 5.2.4, nor in the latest CVS
version, php5.2-200709121030.

We made a system available on a Sun E3500, partially for the purposes
of fixing this bug.  The last login from anyone from the PHP team was on
5 July 2007.

Is there any time plan to fix this bug?  We are running on Solaris 10
and are stuck on PHP 5.1.6 because of this problem, so the situation
for us is critical.

CVS version still produces the error.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

For Windows (zip):

Description:
------------
When including files in directories that have access only permissions
(no read or write), includes fail with a permission denied when trying
things like
include ('../include_me.inc');
Directory permissions for the webserver process are access only (--x).
When including an absolute path, or relative path descending into the
directory tree, include works ok eg:
include ('access_only/level2/include_me.inc');

The return value of "is_readable('../include_me.inc');" returns true,
however include() fails.

Everything works find up to and including PHP 5.1.6, as of PHP 5.2.0
this problem occurs.

Anthony D. has access to our SPARC system and a test area in which this
bug is reproduced has been set up.  He should contact me at my work
email address for further information.


Expected result:
----------------
The files should be included, as they were in versions prior to and in 
5.1.6.

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: include(../include_me.inc) [function.include]: failed to open
stream: Permission denied in /access_only/level2/index.php on line 15
