Status: Closed
Bug Type: Filesystem function related
Operating System: FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE
PHP Version: 4.3.10
New Comment:
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.

thanks for the response. by "latest" do you mean php5? as shown in
this bug description I tested with today's stable 4.3.x build in
addition to 4.3.10 where i found the problem.

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).
