Description Pavel Stratil 2007-06-09 18:08:58 UTC
is_link() function in php returns bogus results.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a symlink
2. php script: test if its a link by is_link(), compare it to readlink()

<?php
$ln = "/var/www/localhost/htdocs/notglued/__md5.js";
echo "testning: ".$ln;
clearstatcache(); echo "<br />is_link: ".is_link($ln);
clearstatcache(); echo "<br />vardump(is_link): ".var_dump(is_link($ln));
clearstatcache(); echo "<br />readlink: ".readlink($ln);
?>

outputs

testning: /var/www/localhost/htdocs/notglued/__md5.js
is_link: bool(false)
vardump(is_link):
readlink: /var/www/localhost/htdocs/notglued/md5.js

the file tested really is a symlink:

localhost ~ # ls -al /var/www/localhost/htdocs/notglued/*md5*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 kurapica kurapica   55 Jun  9 20:27 /var/www/localhost/htdocs/notglued/__md5.js -> /var/www/localhost/htdocs/notglued/md5.js
-rw-r--r-- 1 www      www      8827 Jun  4 18:33 /var/www/localhost/htdocs/notglued/md5.js

php is compiled as an apache2 module. php patched by the hardened-php patch. during testing i disabled the loaded extensions (suhosin, xcache, memcache).

this is the top of the phpinfo() result:

Looks just fine w/ php-5.2.4_pre200708051230-r2

$ ln -s test.php testlink
$ php test.php 
 testing: /tmp/testlink
 vardump(is_link): bool(true)
 readlink: test.php
Comment 2 Pavel Stratil 2007-08-13 11:28:57 UTC
