- bug 52065 "Warning about open_basedir restriction while accessing a file as
directory"
- bug 53041 "is_file() and open_basedir" closed to due no feedback (@pajoye:
yes)
tl;dr: bug is not about open_basedir itself but rather some code being unable
to
access the file (rightly so) and the calling code assuming the failure is
because
of open_basedir.

Description:
------------
When open_basedir set file_exists() raise an open_basedir warning
when checking a path which permitted by open_basedir but includes
an existent file misused as directory.
Test script:
---------------
//create a file
$fhandle = fopen('existing-file-which-is-not-dir.txt', 'w');
//throw your mind away and use it as a directory
if (is_file('existing-file-which-is-not-dir.txt/test.html')) {
print "File exists";
} else {
print "File does not exist";
}
//show the error
print_r(error_get_last());
Expected result:
----------------
is_file should return a FALSE and you should read "File does not exist".
Actual result:
--------------
In addition to "File does not exist", you'll get a warning that
open_basedir restriction is in effect:
