Description:
------------
Calls to PHP's is_readable() function are returning false on a directory that is readable from the command prompt. I have changed permissions to most-permissible and still no luck.

Any directory under the samba share that is not on the physical primary partition seems to fail. 

Here are the permissions as provided in the shell:

ls -lad /remote/samba_share
drwxrwxr-x 13 me users 0 May 29 15:49 /remote/samba_share

ls -la /remote/samba_share
drwxr-xr-x  4 me users 0 May  8 14:19 /remote/samba_share/local_dir
drwxr-xr-x 16 me users 0 May 14 19:49 /remote/samba_share/second_drive
drwxrwxrwx 12 me users 0 May 30 09:42 /remote/samba_share/ext_raid

NOTE: I started this as a question on stackoverflow, because of the number of other possible causes, but led to this bug report.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10818770/php-is-readable-fails-on-readable-samba-directory



Test script:
---------------
if (is_readable('/remote/samba_share'              )){ echo "share ok\n";  } else { echo "share BAD\n";  }
if (is_readable('/remote/samba_share/local_dir'    )){ echo "local ok\n";  } else { echo "local BAD\n";  }
if (is_readable('/remote/samba_share/second_drive' )){ echo "second ok\n"; } else { echo "second BAD\n"; }
if (is_readable('/remote/samba_share/ext_raid'     )){ echo "raid ok\n";   } else { echo "raid BAD\n";   }

Expected result:
----------------
share ok
local ok
second ok
raid ok

Actual result:
--------------
share ok
local ok
second BAD
raid BAD

Note that the C function access() (which I believe is used by is_readable()) works as expected:

C code: 

cout << "share: " << access("/remote/samba_share", R_OK) << endl; 
cout << "local: " << access("/remote/samba_share/local_dir", R_OK) << endl; 
cout << "second: " << access("/remote/samba_share/second_drive", R_OK) << endl; 
cout << "raid: " << access("/remote/samba_share/ext_raid", R_OK) << endl;

result: 

share: 0
local: 0
second: 0
raid: 0

Bug #49620 seems to be similar and offers some more test cases.

Does this problem still persist for actively supported PHP
versions[1]?

Thanks!  Re-opening.

This problem still exists in PHP 7.3.11
It also happens when the samba share is mounted to a drive (map network drive) in windows 10 64bits.

Just to report that the problem still exist in PHP 8.0 on Windows 10 with network mapped drive of a SMB share.

The functions scandir() and is_dir() have no problem, but is_readable() still returns false.

The related Windows issue is already tracked as bug #73543; this
is about POSIX systems, and while the underlying issue *might*
have similar issues, the exact cause is likely different.

Slight change of package so it's with other similar issues.
