Bug #48454 touch() does not modify accessed time in Windows
Submitted: 2009-06-02 15:52 UTC Modified: 2009-08-18 14:47 UTC
From: soapergem at gmail dot com Assigned: pajoye (profile)

Description:
------------
The touch() command does not actually modify the accessed time of a file on a Windows platform. After calling touch() on a file with an access time specified, the access time is set to the current time.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

$file = 'C:\\test.txt';
$mtime = filemtime($file);
$atime = fileatime($file);

$newtime = mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2009);
$result1 = touch($file, $mtime, $newtime);
$result2 = ( $atime != fileatime($file) );

var_dump($result1);
var_dump($result2);

?>

Expected result:
----------------
On the first run, we should expect the file C:\test.txt to have an access time of January 1st, 2009, and this expected PHP output:

bool(true)
bool(true)


Actual result:
--------------
Instead, the file C:\test.txt will have an access time of whenever the script ran, and this is the PHP output we get:

bool(true)
bool(false)
