But it's just a matter of not corrupting the filepath. This is a bug in a way, as, for the same reason, the function cannot handle "\\.\C:\filename.ext", which is a valid Win32 path. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-06 16:32:20] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Indeed, Wez and I both have our eyes on named pipe support. With luck it'll show up in 5.1, in any case it should be a simple backport to make it available to 5.0 via a PECL extension. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-05 09:49:10] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Let's make this a feature request as it's currently not meant to work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-04 00:06:58] cleong at nflc dot org Description: ------------ fopen() can't handle path names like "\\.\pipe\pipename" because the internal function virtual_file_ex() see the ".\" part, thinks that it means current directory, and promptly removes it. The manual doesn't mention named pipes but I think this is worth fixing as it will give PHP Win32 a robust interprocess communication mechanism that's fairly easy to implement. The fix is easy enough. Insert the following at line 413 in tsrm_virtual_cwd.c, right after the else if (!IS_DIRECTORY_CURRENT(ptr, ptr_length)) loop: #ifdef TSRM_WIN32 /* '.' should be retained if the first two chars are '\' as it stands for local machine done mainly for paths to NT named pipes (\\.\pipe\pipename) */ } else if(state->cwd_length == 2 && state->cwd[0] == '\\' && state->cwd[1] == '\\') { state->cwd = (char *) realloc(state->cwd, state->cwd_length+ptr_length+1); memcpy(&state->cwd[state->cwd_length], ptr, ptr_length+1); state->cwd_length += ptr_length; #endif } Reproduce code: --------------- Set break point at line 1975 in streams.c fd = open(realpath, open_flags, 0666); then run <? readfile('\\\\.\\pipe\\pipename'); ?>. Inspect realpath. Expected result: ---------------- realpath => \\.\pipe\pipename Actual result: -------------- realpath => \\pipe\pipename ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29005&edit=1
