Itīs still nonsense to write an error-message! stat() *IS  STILL USED*
for checking the existence of files. Why do I have to *suppress*
error-messages?! PHP should not *generate* them in the first! *If* you
choose to implement stat() and name it after the C-function, then
stat() should behave as closely as possible like its C-equivalent.

It returns false. You need to get rid of error messages with @...

hi,

I tried to use some of the posix_* functions to work with
user-accounts on the system, like "posix_getpwnam()" and
"posix_getpwuid()".

I expected to get an error-code back (like Failed or FALSE)
for pwnames or pwuids which do not exist in /etc/passwd.
Instead, PHP will write a warning message in my html-output:

: Warning: posix_getpwuid(4711) failed with 'Success' in
: /data/home/webmaster/admin/admin.php
: on line 197

and, what I think is strange, will "fail with īSuccessī".

Could you please modify the posix_getpw* functions in a
way that they 1) do not write strange warning-messages
 and 2) return a NULL-Value or FALSE, where the unix getpw*(3) will
return NULL (just like documented in the
man-page)

thanks in advance,
herbert rosmanith
