Bug description: filesize() on symlink returns size of the file pointed by it.
Description:
------------
When filesize() is applied on a symbolic link to a file, it returns the
size of the file pointed by it instead of returning the size of symlink
itself. This is happening for both php5 and php6. Is this the valid
behavior?
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$file_handle = fopen("test.tmp", "w");
fwrite( $file_handle, str_repeat("Hello World, this is 2007 year ....\n",
100) );
fclose($file_handle);
symlink("test.tmp", "test_symlink.tmp"); //creating symlink
var_dump( filesize("test_symlink.tmp") ); //size of the symlink itself
clearstatcache();
var_dump( filesize("test.tmp") ); //size of the file
clearstatcache();
unlink("test_symlink.tmp");
unlink("test.tmp");
?>
Expected result:
----------------
-sizeof(symlink)-
int(3600)
Actual result:
--------------
int(3600)
int(3600)
