Bug #42027 is_file() / is_dir() matches file/dirnames with wildcard char or trailing slash
Submitted: 2007-07-18 11:38 UTC Modified: 2007-07-24 09:08 UTC
From: mahesh dot vemula at in dot ibm dot com Assigned: dmitry (profile)
Status: Closed Package: Filesystem function related
PHP Version: 5.2CVS-2007-07-23 OS: win32 only
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2007-07-18 11:38 UTC] mahesh dot vemula at in dot ibm dot com
Description:
------------
is_file() matches for a file name given with wild-card character/trailing slash on Windows, but not on Linux. When wild-card char/trailing slash is given in the file name as input to the function, the function returns false on Linux. 
In the same manner, is_dir() matches for a dir name given with wild-card character on Windows, but not on Linux. When wild-card is given in the dir name as input to the function, the function returns false on Linux.  
A consistent behavior of the function is expected.


Environment:
Operating System: RHEL 4
PHP Version: PHP 5.2 
Configure Setup: ./configure


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
fclose( fopen("test.tmp", "w") );
var_dump( is_file("test.tmp") );
var_dump( is_file("test.tmp/") );
var_dump( is_file("*.tmp") );
unlink("test.tmp");

mkdir("temp");
var_dump( is_dir("temp") );
var_dump( is_dir("temp/") );
var_dump( is_dir("*mp") );
rmdir("temp");
?>


Expected result:
----------------
bool(true)
bool(true)
bool(true)
bool(true)
bool(true)
bool(true)


Actual result:
--------------
bool(true)
bool(false)
bool(false)
bool(true)
bool(true)
bool(false)

Obviously Windows side is doing it wrong. I expect wildcards in filenames passed to is_file to return false.

Windows behaviour is definitely wrong, "*.tmp" is not a file.

GetFileAttributesEx accepts wildcards. There needs to be some check for that and just simply return false for those on win32?

Assigned to Dmitry who added the win32 stuff into TSRM/tsrm_virtual_cwd.c for this.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.
