Description:
------------
http://de.php.net/is_readable states that is_readable() is not subject to safe_mode restrictions.

With the fix for bug #37987 this is wrong, is_readable() behaves like file_exists() does, and the documentation for file_exists() explicitly tells about this behaviour.


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
print PHP_VERSION . "\n";
var_dump(ini_get('safe_mode'));
var_dump(file_exists('/etc/hosts'));
var_dump(is_readable('/etc/hosts'));
?>

mp@dev:~$ php bug.php
5.1.6
string(0) ""
bool(true)
bool(true)

mp@dev:~$ php -d safe_mode=1 bug.php    
5.1.6
string(1) "1"
bool(false)
bool(false)

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

"Safe mode limitations are not taken into account before PHP 5.1.5."
