PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Bug description: file_exists() returns false on paths using ../ in middle
Description:
------------
The file_exists() function returns false on files that do exist but use a
directory traversal in the path. Not at the start of the path, I mean in
the middle of the path. (This type of path works fine on the include
function)
Works fine on windows apache2.2.11 php5.2.9
Reproduce code:
---------------
(Example based on a file called 'real_file.php' being placed in a
directory called 'real_dir')
$test_path = 'real_dir/fake_dir/../real_file.php',
if (file_exists($test_path)) {
echo 'File does exist<br />';
echo (@include($test_path)) ? 'File included' : 'File NOT included';
} else {
echo 'File does Not exist<br />';
echo (@include($test_path)) ? 'File included' : 'File NOT included';
}
Expected result:
----------------
File does exist
File included
Actual result:
--------------
File does NOT exist
File included
