ID: 27134 Comment by: djani22 at netcenter dot hu Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Slackware Linux PHP Version: 4.3.4 New Comment:
I have a similar problem too: ... clearstatcache(); if (file_exists($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."pic/penztarbamost_".$language.".gif")){ ?> <img src="pic/penztarbamost_<?php echo($language); ?>.gif" border="0" alt="<?php echo($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."pic/penztarbamost_".$language.".gif"); ?>"> <?php } ... The code is inserting the img tag, but the image does not exist! (and newer was) I tried to restart apache, but no change. :( (the php script is a symlink, but the alt message on a missing image is correct.)

Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-04 12:56:48] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Results are only cached if the underlying stat() call succeeded; since the file doesn't exist to start off with, PHP won't cached the information about it not existing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-03 10:22:51] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've tested with PHP 5 and it caches in some situations. If you start running the script without the file, it will output false till you create it. If you then delete the file, it continues to echo true. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-03 10:12:19] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Description: ------------ It seems that results from file_exists() or similar are not being cached with PHP-CLI. Since I think this is intended behavior this should be reflected in the manual. Reproduce code: --------------- while( TRUE ) { var_dump( file_exists( '/tmp/foo' ) ); sleep( 1 ); } Expected result: ---------------- on creating/deleting /tmp/foo the result of file_exists() should not change since there is no call to clearstatcache() Actual result: -------------- actually the output _does_ change ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27134&edit=1
