Operating system: Linux
PHP version: 4.4.4
PHP Bug Type: Filesystem function related
Bug description: is_writable broken
Description:
------------
The function "is_writable" does not work correctly:
The attached script does not give the correct result when run from the
command line or from apache
the session.save_path is set to "/tmp" in php.ini which has the following
permissions:
drwxrwxrwt 25 root root 4096 Sep 2 23:30 tmp
this is the normal file permissions for the linux /tmp directory.
with these permissions any use can write into this directory, but the
"is_writable" function returns "false"
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
//checks if temp is writeable
$sp=ini_get('session.save_path');
echo $sp . "<br/>";
if (is_writable($sp)) {
echo 'The file is writable';
} else {
echo 'The file is not writable';
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
/tmp<br/>The file is writable
Actual result:
--------------
/tmp<br/>The file is not writable
