From: gobzo at netscape dot net Operating system: Windows XP Pro PHP version: 4.3.5RC3 PHP Bug Type: *Directory/Filesystem functions Bug description: is_writable returns true for file that can not be written to
Description: ------------ I experience a situation, where Apache runs under the user name, who does not have rights to write to a certain directory. This has been tested and found working: I logged in under that user and received Access denied error trying to save a changed file in this folder. The problem is that if I call is_writable() against files in that folder (and the folder itself!), it will return true which it utterly wrong. Of course, subsequent writes to the files fail because the files in fact can not be written to, but the scripts do not know about that. My wild guess would be this is Windows or WinXP related issue, I do not have a Linux box to check, but if needed, I can set it up - just email me. Reproduce code: --------------- 1. Create a folder 'foo' and file 'bar' in that folder. 2. Create a new user User1 and assign his rights to a folder 'foo' so that his Allow/Write is unchecked. 3. Run Apache under this user. 4. Create ./foo.php with the following code: <?php if (is_writable("bar")) echo "Writable"; else echo "Read only"; ?> 5. Go with your browser to localhost/foo.php Expected result: ---------------- Writable Actual result: -------------- Read only -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27609&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27609&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27609&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27609&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27609&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27609&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27609&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27609&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27609&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27609&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27609&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27609&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27609&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27609&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27609&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27609&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27609&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27609&r=float
