Description:
------------
When executing is_readable("/path/to/my/file.txt") the function returns false, even so file permissions are as follows:
-rw-rw---- 1 someuser www-data 1529 2009-06-01 04:28 file.txt
where www-data is a group the web server executing the script is member of.
To eliminate caching issues, clearstatcache(); has been executed before. The same goes for is_writable. I'm not shure if it is intended or a bug, but if it is intended, the documentation would be wrong (at least IMHO).
If it is intended, a similar function for group rights would be needed ...

Reproduce code:
---------------
---
From manual page: function.is-readable
---


Expected result:
----------------
In the above example, is_readable should return true ...

Actual result:
--------------
is_readable returns true, but file can be opened with fopen anyways ...

In actual result: it should read "is_readable returns *false*, but file can be opened with fopen anyways ..."
