Status: Verified
Bug Type: Filesystem function related
Operating System: win32 only
PHP Version: 5CVS, 4CVS (2005-03-06)
New Comment:
I've seen this in 5.0.4 build 2600 using win32. Unfortunately the
string length does not seem to matter at all on both is_dir() and
is_file().

Win32 specific bug, due to the stat() function not having handling in
place for filenames 255 chars.

You can add file_exists() to the list of functions that have this
error. I tested this with php4-win32-STABLE-200502081330.zip

Description:
is_dir() and is_file() (incorrectly) return true for any string larger
than 255 characters.
I tried this on two different machines, with the out of the box,
precompiled/downloaded Windows version of php 5.0.3. No changes were
made to the standard php.ini-dist. No extra extensions were loaded.
We are using PHP as an Apache2 module (php2apache2.dll). We also tried
the latest CVS snapshot (5CVS-2004-12-30 (dev)) and got the same
results.
We tried, and could NOT reproduce this on Linux. It only failed on
windows platforms.
Curiously (or maybe not so curious), file_exists() DOES work fine.
Reproduce code:
---
?
$myfilename=aaaccsaccss;
echo myfilename is: $myfilename;
echo brmyfilename is .strlen($myfilename). characters long;
echo bris_dir: .is_dir($myfilename);
echo brfile_exists: .file_exists($myfilename);
echo bris_file: .is_file($myfilename);
$myfilename=ccsaccss;
echo brbrmyfilename is: $myfilename;
echo brmyfilename is .strlen($myfilename). characters long;
echo bris_dir: .is_dir($myfilename);
echo brfile_exists: .file_exists($myfilename);
echo bris_file: .is_file($myfilename);
?
Expected result:
is_dir() and is_file() should return false if the file or directory
does not exist, regardless of the length of the string they are
passed.
Actual result:
--
Result for above script is:
myfilename is:
aaaccsaccss
myfilename is 255 characters long
is_dir:
file_exists:
is_file:
myfilename is:
ccsaccss
myfilename is 256 characters long
is_dir: 1
file_exists: 1
is_file:
