Description:
------------
These two functions are available on Windows >= Vista since PHP 5.3.0. The problem is that reflection have some pointers on them even in Windows < Vista (e.g. XP) where they are not available.


Test script:
---------------
<?php
$r = new ReflectionExtension("standard");
$r->getFunctions();
?>


Expected result:
----------------
bool(false)


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

Warning: ReflectionExtension::getFunctions(): Internal error: Cannot find extension function readlink in global function table

Warning: ReflectionExtension::getFunctions(): Internal error: Cannot find extension function symlink in global function table

The first line of Test script should be:

var_dump(function_exists('readlink'));

It outputs bool(false) mentioned in the result.

They are only available in vista and later.

They are also dynamically available, we remove them at init time if the Windows 
version is < vista.

re-open, but really not sure if it is fixable in reflexion, but there is no bug in 
these functions per se :)

I know, it is even mentioned in the bug report. The problem is that Reflection doesn't know it and produces an Internal error.

It certainly does something nasty, can you try to figure out where pls?
 [2011-07-01 09:40 UTC] vrana@php.net 
I've looked in the source codes but I didn't get a clue how is it achieved that readlink() is disabled on Windows < Vista.

I also don't see anything related at http://lxr.php.net/search?project=PHP_5_4&refs=readlink

This specific windows disabling stuff is done at http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_5_4/main/main.c#php_win32_disable_functions but I think it might be handled like we treat the disable_functions INI entry at http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_5_4/Zend/zend_API.c#disabled_function

I don't have a Windows build environment.. but I believe the attached patch fixes 
this issue, and makes more sense :]

Could you verify it for me Pierre?
