Description:
------------
Windows 2003 SP2 / IIS 6.0 / PHP 5.2.4
Anonymous Auth OFF
Basic Auth,NTLM Auth ON

With a Higher Right User(Admin) file_exsists Work Correctly, but with a Lower Right User file_exists Return False but the HTML File get Included.

So it the File must be Checkable if Exists

I tripplecheck since 4 Days the Security Settings, also trying to figure it out with NT Filemon for Accses Denieds

Find this Error(Is it a Bug?) by try to Securing :-) an Typo3 Website with NTLM and SSL for Internal Authentification

This Error Stops Typo3 from loading External Files, because of @is_File = False



Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
	$file='fileadmin/template/main.html';
	clearstatcache();
	if (@is_File("".$file))	{
			echo ('File Exists:'.$file);
		}else{
			echo('File ERROR:'.$file);
		}
	include_once($file);
	echo('Loaded');
?>

Expected result:
----------------
File Exists:fileadmin/template/main.html
<The HTML Code>
Loaded

Actual result:
--------------
File Error:fileadmin/template/main.html
<The HTML Code>
Loaded

I think i got it

When i get "getcwd" from Admin i get the Path to the Correct Root Folder
With lower Right User i get "c:\windows\system32\inetsrv"

and then php cannot Accses the File because of the wrong Root Folder

[2007-10-10 14:19 UTC] administrator dot bau at josephinum dot at

OK i it works now!

Folder A
   Webrootfolder
     index.php < where the Script is
     fileadmin
       Template
         main.html


The "Folder A" (Parent Folder of Root folder!!!) need Directory Listing Rights for the User how Connect on IIS

Is this an ISAPI oder IIS Bug?

Or iam a dumb man??

We are aware of PHP's problems with stability under IIS and are working 
to rectify the problem. Unfortunatly your bug report does not contain any
extra useful information and we already have enough bug reports open about
this issue. If you can provide more detailed information such as a 
reproducable crash or a backtrace please do so and reopen this bug. 
Otherwise please keep trying new releases as we are working to resolve 
the problems on this platform
 
Thanks for your interest in PHP.

And most likely IIS bug.
