Bug Type: Directory function related
Description: dir() only returns first 6 chars correctly
Hi Jani,
Thanks for the message. I have not tried that distribution. It took me many months
to get a successful install on my irix box and I am a bit reluctant right now to take
a chance and maybe 'break it'. 8-) The php/mysql system is current running an
abstract service for a regional chemical conference and I don't want to take a chance
at making that go down. 8-) The abstract deadline is the 16th of march and after
that I feel comfortable enough trying to building a new version on the irix box. BTW,
php/mysql has been a great addition to the my uses for chemistry web servers.
Sorry for asking for help and not being able to try your suggestion until a couple of
weeks.
I will try the lasted non-snapshot release as soon as the server is not so critical.
I am guessing that I could maybe try to build it so that is doesn't write over the
current working version. If I can figure that out, I will try to get to that sooner.
Thanks again for the quick resonse!

Hi Folks,
I have run into a problem using the dir() function.
The following code behaves properly on linux and does not using irix:
Contents of the dir (only folders) are:
CH104/
CH105/
CH120/
ABCDEFGHIJKL/
abcdefghijkl/
When I execute the following code:
chdir("$dir_path");
echo ("Dir Path = $dir_path<br>");
$dir = dir(".");
$dir -> rewind();
$file=$dir->read();
echo ("file is $file<br>n");
$file=$dir->read();
echo ("file is $file<br>n");
$file=$dir->read();
echo ("file is $file<br>n");
$file=$dir->read();
echo ("file is $file<br>n");
I get the following incorrect results (php 4.0.2, irix 6.5.7)
Dir Path = /Public/Web/db/msds
file is .
file is ..
file is CH104
file is CH105
file is CH120
file is ABCDEFþõ~KL
file is abcdefþõ~kl
So, it appears that if the dir (or file) is less than or equal to 6 char the
dir() function work correctly. However, if it is longer, the name get
garbled.
On a redhat linux box (php 4.0.2), it works fine and I get proper dir names.
This behavior is the same for filenames not just dir names.
I have checked the bugs.php.net and email lists without finding information
related to this problem. Hope I have not missed it some where...
