Hi, I'm not PHP Core developer, just developer using php :)

I think this is not a bug, functions like chmod, chown and realpath, glob are working only with "file://" stream. And this is correct! realpath() always should provide "real" path on filesytem (file://), not in phar, zip, http or myOwnStream.

I can not even imagine what how it will be in other case for ex. realpath('myRegisteredStream://somepath')
or chmod('http://google.com', 777) - funny isn't it?!

In my scripts I do something like this:

define('APPLICATION_PATH', __DIR__); -- path inside phar for loading files
define('REAL_PATH', realpath('.')) -- folder where php was called

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

realpath() is supposed to return a real path, not a, well, virtual one.
