Description:
------------
Hey Guys!

Relating to: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=31347
This Bug seems to be not fixed.

Reproduce code:
---------------
D:\>php -r "var_dump(file_exists(str_repeat('a', 10000)));"
D:\>php -r "var_dump(file_exists(str_repeat('a', 255)));"


Expected result:
----------------
file_exists should return false in both cases.

Actual result:
--------------
D:\>php -r "var_dump(file_exists(str_repeat('a', 10000)));"
bool(true)

D:\>php -r "var_dump(file_exists(str_repeat('a', 255)));"
bool(false)

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

Sorry for my late answer.

I am getting this with the latest snapshot: 

D:\php5.2-win32-latest>php -v
PHP 5.2.0RC2-dev (cli) (built: Aug  3 2006 12:21:14)
Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies

D:\php5.2-win32-latest>php -r "var_dump(file_exists(str_repeat('a', 10000)));"
bool(true)

D:\php5.2-win32-latest>php -r "var_dump(file_exists(str_repeat('a', 255)));"
bool(true)

file_exists works here totally incorrect.

Yours sincerely

I have just checked some more and found this: 

D:\php5.2-win32-latest>php -r "var_dump(file_exists(str_repeat('a', 236)));"
bool(false)

D:\php5.2-win32-latest>php -r "var_dump(file_exists(str_repeat('a', 237)));"
bool(true)

file_exists works here incorrectly with filenames > 236

Yours sincerely

Well I am getting this: 

D:\php5.2-cvs>php -v
PHP 5.2.0RC2-dev (cli) (built: Aug  4 2006 12:21:08)
Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies


D:\php5.2-cvs>php -r "var_dump(file_exists(str_repeat('a', 246)));"
bool(true)

D:\php5.2-cvs>php -r "var_dump(file_exists(str_repeat('a', 245)));"
bool(false)


So, its not fixed.

Does 4.4.3 work for you?
 [2006-08-04 17:20 UTC] bjoernhaeuser at googlemail dot com 
D:\php4.3\cli>php -r "var_dump(file_exists(str_repeat('a', 260)));"

Warning: file_exists(): Stat failed for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (errno=0 - No error
) in Command line code on line 1
bool(false)

D:\php4.3\cli>php -r "var_dump(file_exists(str_repeat('a', 255)));"
bool(false)

Works 'correctly' for me.

Please try next Win32 snapshot, it should work fine.
 [2006-08-05 17:15 UTC] bjoernhaeuser at googlemail dot com 
Yes works.
