This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the

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.

This is not fixed at all...
This is a documentation bug...
realpath() uses the underlying system realpath() { unless you run it
with the hardening-patch }
On linux/glibc realpath() will return failure if the last component
does not exist.
On BSD realpath() will not return failure if only the last component
does not exist.

Description:
------------
I have found that realpath() returns a path when it should return FALSE
if only the last path component in the given string does not exist.
Tested on php 4.3.10 and php4-STABLE-200504071438. Both tests and
phpinfo can be viewed at http://realpath.moshpit.org/
Reproduce code:
---------------
$x = realpath('/bad/path'); var_dump($x);
$x = realpath('/badpath'); var_dump($x);
$x = realpath('/tmp/badpath'); var_dump($x);
View tests at http://realpath.moshpit.org/
Expected result:
----------------
FALSE for all three tests.
Actual result:
--------------
The first one works (gets FALSE), the other two return the path when
they should return FALSE (assuming /tmp is valid).
