Thank you for your bug report. This issue has already been fixed in the latest released version of PHP, which you can download at http://www.php.net/downloads.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-28 18:09:58] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ouch, little mistake, I confused two reports (one concerns stat(), the other one (this one) conceners posix_*). But anyway, both reports adress the same behaviour, so my reply is still valid. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-28 17:48:57] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I agree with Herbert here. It's pretty worthless for the function to generate this verbose error messages during runtime. It's mimic is excatly what the C version does (function-wise). Does the C version do any output itself if it encounters an error (e.g. posix_getpwuid) ? No. Why? Because a NULL return value is a valid return value. It's not a php_error() nor a E_WARNING. Instead, the extension should be re-written to a) return false (the PHP-way), b) store the errno in a thread-global contect variable and c) provide a function to cleanly retrieve the exacty error message (currently, you would habe to catch $php_errmsg (or whatever it was) and parse it out. Short: re-opening ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-28 14:48:28] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-04 02:46:54] [EMAIL PROTECTED] It returns false. You need to get rid of error messages with @... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-30 09:24:17] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=12465&edit=1
