Code example:
if (is_readable("foo")) {
    echo "file exists.<P>";
} else {
    echo "file does not exist.<P>";
}

Error message:
Warning: stat failed for foo (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in /home/xxx/public_html/is_readable.php on line 3

Configure options:
./configure --with-apache=/home/xxx/apache_1.3.22 --with-mysql=/usr/local --with-gd=/usr/local --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local --with-png-dir=/usr --with-jpeg-dir=/home/xxx/jpeg-6b --with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6  --with-ttf  --with-curl

Seems similar to is_file() bug. Problem does not occur on older versions (i.e. 4.0.6).

So what's the problem? is_readable now returns an error, which is IMHO fine. The only problem is that it's not documented. Changing to docu prob.

So that is what you call downwards compatible?
I build a site under 4.0.6, it works fine.
There is an update to PHP, my sites break.

This is fixed in CVS long time ago. The change didn't make it to 4.1.0
though.

This is what we call an accidental problem. Things like
this can happen in such a big project as PHP.

We encoutered this bug yesterday.

Suse linux 8.0 is using PHP 4.1.0 and so this bug applies here I think.

Since it was fixed in 4.1.2 (or 4.1.1) I think anyone who encounters this bug should upgrade.

Best regards,
